Day 3 John 15:6
Day 3
John 15:6
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered: What is Jesus saying here?
There are basically three views regarding what this passage says about the Believer's position in Jesus. The first view believes that cast out branches are ones who, though once true Believers, end up in Hell, for a lack of fruit. They were once saved, but are now cast out. The second view is that the ‘cast out’ branches are pseudo Christians who never really abided in Jesus, and therefore go to Hell (like Judas). The third view sees the branches cast out as fruitless Christians who live wasted - burnt up - lives (like Lot). Do a little meditation today. Which view do you think Jesus is referring to?
