Jn 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Jn 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Jn 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Jn 15:18 « Si le monde vous hait, sachez qu'il m'a haï avant vous ;

Jn 15:19 si vous étiez du monde, le monde aimerait ce qui est sien ; mais comme vous n'êtes pas du monde, mais que c'est moi qui vous ai choisis du milieu du monde, voilà pourquoi le monde vous hait.

Jn 15:20 Souvenez-vous de la parole que je vous ai dite : L'esclave n'est pas plus grand que son seigneur ; s'ils m'ont poursuivi, ils vous poursuivront aussi ; s'ils ont gardé ma parole, ils garderont aussi la vôtre ;

Jn 15:21 mais ils feront tout cela contre vous à cause de mon nom, parce qu'ils ne connaissent pas Celui qui m'a envoyé.

Jn 15:22 Si je n'étais pas venu, et si je ne leur avais pas parlé, ils n'auraient pas de péché ; mais maintenant ils n'ont pas d'excuse pour leur péché.

Jn 15:23 Celui qui me hait hait aussi mon Père ;

Jn 15:24 si je n'avais pas fait parmi eux les œuvres que nul autre n'a faites, ils n'auraient pas de péché ; mais maintenant, quoiqu'ils les aient vues, ils ont haï, et moi, et mon Père.

Jn 15:25 Mais il fallait que fût accomplie la parole qui est écrite dans leur loi : «  Ils m'ont haï gratuitement . »

Jn 15:26 Quand sera venu le défenseur que je vous enverrai d'auprès du Père, l'Esprit de la vérité qui sort d'auprès du Père, c'est lui qui témoignera en ma faveur ;

Jn 15:27 mais, vous aussi, vous témoignerez, parce que vous êtes dès le commencement avec moi. »

Jn 15:1 Ja som ten pravý vinič, a môj Otec je vinár.

Jn 15:2 Každý letorast, ktorý nenesie na mne ovocia, odrezuje, a každý, ktorý nesie ovocie, čistí, aby doniesol viacej ovocia.

Jn 15:3 Vy ste už čistí pre slovo, ktoré som vám hovoril.

Jn 15:4 Zostaňte vo mne a ja vo vás; ako letorast nemôže niesť ovocie sám od seba, keby nezostal na viniči, tak ani vy, keby ste nezostali vo mne.

Jn 15:5 Ja som vinič, vy ste letorasty. Kto zostáva vo mne a ja v ňom, ten nesie mnoho ovocia, lebo bezo mňa nemôžete nič robiť.

Jn 15:6 Keby niekto nezostal vo mne, vyhodí sa von ako letorast a uschne, a soberú ich a hodia na oheň, a budú horieť.

Jn 15:7 Ak zostanete vo mne, a moje slová ak zostanú vo vás, vtedy si proste, čokoľvek chcete, a stane sa vám.

Jn 15:8 Tým je oslávený môj Otec, aby ste niesli mnoho ovocia a boli mojimi učeníkmi

Jn 15:9 Jako mňa miloval Otec, tak som i ja vás miloval. Zostaňte v mojej láske!

Jn 15:10 Ak budete ostríhať moje prikázania, zostanete v mojej láske, tak ako som ja ostríhal prikázania svojho Otca a zostávam v jeho láske.

Jn 15:11 To som vám hovoril nato, aby moja radosť zostala vo vás, a vaša radosť aby sa naplnila.

Jn 15:12 To je moje prikázanie, aby ste sa milovali navzájom, ako som ja vás miloval.

Jn 15:13 Nad to väčšej lásky nemá nikto, než aby niekto položil svoj život za svojich priateľov.

Jn 15:14 Vy ste mojimi priateľmi, ak činíte všetko, čo vám ja prikazujem.

Jn 15:15 Už vám nehovorím viacej sluhovia, lebo sluha nevie, čo robí jeho pán. Ale vás som nazval priateľmi, lebo všetko to, čo som počul od svojho Otca, oznámil som vám.

Jn 15:16 Nie vy ste si mňa vyvolili, ale ja som si vás vyvolil a ustanovil som vás, aby ste vy išli a niesli ovocie, a vaše ovocie aby zostávalo, aby, za čokoľvek by ste prosili Otca v mojom mene, dal vám.

Jn 15:17 To vám prikazujem, aby ste sa milovali navzájom.

Jn 15:18 Ak vás svet nenávidí, vedzte, že mňa prv nenávidel ako vás.

Jn 15:19 Keby ste boli zo sveta, svet by mal rád svoje vlastné, ale preto, že nie ste zo sveta, ale že som si ja vás vyvolil zo sveta, preto vás svet nenávidí.

Jn 15:20 Pamätajte na slovo, ktoré som vám povedal, že sluha nie je väčší ako jeho pán. Ak mňa prenasledovali, budú aj vás prenasledovať. Ak moje slovo zachovali, zachovajú aj vaše.

Jn 15:21 Ale to všetko vám urobia pre moje meno, pretože neznajú toho, ktorý ma poslal.

Jn 15:22 Keby som nebol prišiel, a nebol im hovoril, nemali by hriechu, ale teraz nemajú výhovorky zo svojho hriechu.

Jn 15:23 Ten, kto mňa nenávidí, nenávidí aj môjho Otca.

Jn 15:24 Keby som nebol činil medzi nimi skutkov, ktorých nikto iný neučinil, nemali by hriechu; ale teraz aj videli aj nenávideli i mňa i môjho Otca.

Jn 15:25 Ale to preto, aby sa naplnilo slovo, napísané v ich zákone, že ma nenávideli bez príčiny.

Jn 15:26 Ale keď prijde Tešiteľ, ktorého vám ja pošlem od Otca, toho Ducha pravdy, ktorý vychádza od Otca, ten bude svedčiť o mne.

Jn 15:27 A vy tiež svedčíte, pretože ste so mnou od počiatku.

SPIRITUAL TOPICS

The Importance of God's Word The sermon emphasizes the necessity of having a relationship with God's Word and with Jesus. Those who have taken the Word of God and the preaching of Brother Branham together have been led into the Word without sorrow. The foundational things must be present first, leading to a deeper understanding of God's mysteries. Staying in God's Word is crucial for remaining in Him, as departing from the Word means departing from Him. God's actions align with His Word, which is eternally true. Believers must patiently await the fulfillment of God's promises without speculation.
Bearing Fruit The sermon explores the concept of bearing fruit, referencing the vine and the branches. Believers are born from and grow with Christ, and must bear fruit with Him. It is a serious matter to remain in Christ, as those who do not abide in Him are cast away and wither. Bearing fruit is impossible without Christ, and anything done without Him is rejected by God. Spiritual growth is a gift from God, and believers should trust in Him without reservation.
Love and Obedience The sermon highlights the importance of abiding in God's love, which is revealed in Christ. This love is essential for bearing fruit. Believers are called to love one another as Christ has loved them. Keeping God's commandments is necessary to remain in His love. God's commandments are not burdensome, and He makes it easy for believers to align their will with His.
Joy and Hope The sermon speaks of the joy that comes from abiding in Christ, which leads to complete joy. Just as Christ endured suffering for the joy that awaited Him, believers should focus on the end result of their faith. They should not dwell on mockery or misunderstandings, but keep the end in sight, knowing that they will be crowned with Christ. God has ordained everything in a wonderful way, and believers can trust that the enemy will be defeated and Christ will emerge victorious.
Humility and Submission The sermon emphasizes the need to submit to God's Word and humble oneself before Him. Those who elevate themselves above God's Word are under the same influence as those who are openly against God. True believers will find a connection to every word of God and submit to it. Even when falling short, believers should acknowledge God's righteousness and seek His grace.
The Erwahlung (Election) and its Responsibility The sermon addresses the concept of Erwahlung (election), stating that God has chosen believers and appointed them to bear fruit that will last. This Erwahlung (election) is not based on human initiative but on God's grace and mercy. However, Erwahlung (election) also carries a responsibility to go forth and bear fruit. Believers are called to be Riepen (tendrils) on the vine, drawing life and strength from Christ through faith.
The Holy Spirit The sermon mentions the importance of remaining under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The Antichrist Brother Frank speaks on the difficulty of writing about the Antichrist. He reflects on Lucifer's fall from grace and how those who seek to elevate themselves above God often end up in opposition to Him.
Friendship with God The sermon speaks of the friendship with God that is established through Christ's sacrifice. Believers are called friends if they do what He commands, believing His word and taking Him seriously. Christ has revealed all that believers need to know, making them not strangers but members of God's kingdom.
