The vine -- The husbandman -- The branch -- The fruit -- More fruit -- The cleansing -- The pruning knife -- Abide -- Except ye abide -- I the vine -- Ye the branches -- Much fruit -- Ye can do nothing -- Withered branches -- What ye will -- If ye abide -- The Father glorified -- True disciples -- The wonderful love -- Abide in my love -- Obey and abide -- Ye, even as I -- Joy -- Love one another -- As I have loved you -- Christ's friendship : its origin -- Christ's friendship : its evidence -- Christ's friendship : its intimacy -- Election -- Abiding fruit -- Prevailing prayer.

Bearing much fruit is not a demand but a promise and result of abiding in Christ. Fruit is not a result of the branch's effort; it is the responsibility of the vine. That is one reason Christ used the grapevine as a picture of the Christian's relationship to him. Andrew Murray looks closely at this metaphor in this classic work, exploring it in 31 gripping chapters. - Back cover.
