Answer:

This comes from John.

__:__-__Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

*These verses are talking about fruit bearing, and Jesus is letting us know about the result of being saved. You have the ability to bear fruit that is everlasting if you are saved and are abiding in Him. This implies that if we are to bear fruit for God we will have to remain in His will and in fellowship with Him. Otherwise, there is no way to bear eternal fruit for God. It is not implying that you are to work for your salvation or to even remain saved. The point is also being made in this Scripture that Jesus is the true vine. The idea here is that there is a fake vine and that vine is of the world or the worldly vine. The unsaved do not know Jesus as Savior, therefore neither can they abide in Him and they cannot obey Him, thus the works they perform are done according to the fleshly nature and they are part of that worldly vine. God does not operate on the level of the flesh nature. The flesh nature being corrupt causes their work to be corrupt in the sight of God. Whether it be for their self gratification or some form of self righteousness; their reason for performing the work they do is always corrupt. But, genuine faith or trust in Jesus will always lead to action, it is a willingness to obey God and serve God, and if that action is done in the will of God by a believer it will be done by the leadership of the Holy Spirit and produce an everlasting fruit.

Answer: Micah 7:3

This comes from Micah

__:__That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

*It used to be that writers of TV sitcoms were sneaky and clever in their writing. The things they wrote always had that little leftist hook in it and always had that hidden agenda associated with the story. They are much more open about it today however, because many shows today promote some form of rebellion against God out in the open. What was once written about and acted out on the screen has come to reality in many cases and now we have people that, “do evil with both hands earnestly”. We have people today that act as if abortion is just a matter of choice, and I find it interesting to see the very ones that support the legislation of wicked laws to legalize drugs, abortion, and same-sex marriage stand up and proclaim that they care about people. People that support the ones that conceive such wickedness and evil do so at a terrible risk and are not any better than the ones that are quickly trying to make and pass the laws. They are people that are quick to lie and wait for innocent blood and quick to kill, and to be sure they do not care about people in this country or any other country. Those that support people like that and those that are actively involved in making and passing such laws may think they are getting by with it through a bribe or some other means, but God does not accept bribes and He sees all. God is a just judge and cannot be bribed and they will not get by with doing evil and calling it good.
