Relationship with Christ



We, Christians know through the teaching of the Holy Bible, that Christ is the only Savior. He is our only hope, for us to be saved from the wrath of God on Judgment day. And we all know what to do so that Christ will save us, and that is, to have a relationship with Him.

But is it really true that only those who are related to Christ have the opportunity to receive the promised salvation by Christ? In John 15:6 Christ said that those branches that will be cast out will be thrown into the fire.

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:6, NKJV)

In other words, those branches that will remain from the vine will not be thrown into the fire. And the burning by fire will be on the judgment day.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (Matthew 13:40, ibid)

Then who is the vine and who are the branches? The vine is Christ and the branches are those who are related to Christ.
