• Here the husbandman seeks for fruit; but the instruction given presents entire dependence on the Vine as the means of producing it. (“John 15” by J.N. Darby)

• Christ precedes fruit. It is dependence, practical, habitual nearness of heart to Him, and trust in Him, being attached to Him through dependence on Him. In this way Christ in them would be a constant source of strength and of fruit. (“John 15” by J.N. Darby)

• As surely as He was the Vine, they were the branches. There is, and could be, no failure on His part. It is easy for us to fail in dependence, and to lack confidence in Him. To abide in Him supposes, not merely distrust of ourselves, but cleaving to Him, and counting on Him. (“John 15” by W. Kelly)

• It is not the grace which gives eternal life in Him of which the Lord speaks, but throughout these verses the responsibility of the disciples. Hence, as we shall see presently, there is danger of ruin, no less than fruitlessness, where one does not abide in Him. (“John 15” by W. Kelly)
