“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5, NKJV)

In ourselves we have no life, power, and strength. All that we possess comes from Jesus Christ. He likened himself to a vine and we are likened to the branches, which means that we can be fruitful and productive only as long as we are attached to him. There is nothing for a broken off branch to do but wither and die.
