When you think about yourself and your Christian life, your ability to produce fruit is a direct result of being connected to Jesus, who is the true vine. When a branch is cut off from the vine, it loses its ability to produce fruit the branch is unable to produce any fruit outside of the connection to the vine.

The vine is what gives life to the branches, making them capable of producing fruit.

What Does Jesus Mean When He Says He is the True Vine? For this reason, it is important to know about the characteristics of vines which will help us understand why Jesus says he is the true vine. Instead of just saying he is the vine, why does Jesus say he is the true vine? What is interesting and emphatic about this statement is that Jesus makes a definitive distinction between himself and anyone else, because there can only be one true vine. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener” ( John 15:1).
