1. Communion with God
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Who is the man who fears the Lord?
Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
2. Character if God - love
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

- BEAR FRUIT
