A vine, a branch, a gardener too,
This trinity of love so true
The branch must stay in union
For joy and fruit to come in season

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of John 15:12-17 is to put Jesus’s words into action. Jesus calls us to love one another just as He has loved us. To do this, we should strive to serve and love others unconditionally. This may mean offering assistance to those in need, such as providing food or shelter, or even just offering words of encouragement and support. We should also strive to forgive those who have wronged us and to be willing to extend grace and mercy to others. Additionally, we should abide in Jesus and His Word and not be afraid to share our faith with others. This can be done through inviting friends and family to church, or even by simply engaging in conversations about Jesus and His teachings. When we live a life of love and service, we are obeying Jesus’s commands and responding to His teaching in John 15:12-17.
