John 15:1-5

true

"True" in contrast with Israel. Isaiah 5:1-7.
purgeth

Three conditions of the fruitful life: Cleansing, John 15:2,3. (See Scofield "John 13:10") , abiding , See Scofield "John 15:4", obedience, John 15:4,10,12, (See "Law of Christ,") Galatians 6:2. See Scofield "2 John 1:5".
abide

To abide in Christ is, on the one hand, to have no known sin unjudged and unconfessed, no interest into which He is not brought, no life which He cannot share. On the other hand, the abiding one takes all burdens to Him, and draws all wisdom, life and strength from Him. It is not unceasing consciousness of these things, and of Him, but that nothing is allowed in the life which separates from Him.

See "Fellowship," 1 John 1:3. See "Communion," 1 Corinthians 10:16.
