Chapter 23

"The one thing He commands us as His branches is to bear fruit. Let us live to bless others, to testify of the life and the love there is in Jesus. Let us in faith and obedience give our whole life to that which Jesus chose us for and appointed us to - fruit bearing."

So, my guess is that most of us would not pick many parts from this chapter and put it on a bumper sticker. It was a tough word, but a true word. Obedience is our call and our way to honor God. His commands, though, are not impossible - if we walk by the spirit, then they become what we WANT to do not what we HAVE to do. The key is surrender because we cannot accomplish the commands of God by our own strength.
