The vine imagery is used in several places in scripture to refer to God's people and His desire for them to bear good fruit. For the most part, Israel failed at this (Isaiah 5), and God planted the "true vine" - His Son Jesus to produce the desired good fruit of His glory. Jesus warns that to bear much fruit, individuals must remain in Him, otherwise they will be cut off and burned.
Scriptures: Isaiah 5:1-7; John 15:1-3; John 15:4-5; John 15:6-8; John 15:9-11
