John 15:1-3
1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
If we grow in Christ, we will be pruned in the areas needed - especially when we are not bearing godly fruit for eternity. If we do not conform to Him in character and obedience, that part must be cut off in order to grow back properly. Though we are already clean (pruned) in our position in Christ, sanctified in position, we must grow into His image daily. This means discipline and pruning by His hand from the Word and Spirit.
