Section 6 — The Non-Negotiable Anchor

John 15:1-5 TIER 1 — SCRIPTURE

""I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.""

ESTABLISHES:

Abiding is the operational condition for everything the image bearer was created to do and become. The cosmic destiny of the sons of God is available only through remaining in the Son of God. Non-negotiable. The anchor of the entire volume.

John 17:3 TIER 1 — SCRIPTURE

""Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.""

ESTABLISHES:

Eternal life is defined as knowing the Father and the Son — present tense, relational, already operational. All cosmic speculation in this volume serves this. Nothing in the volume is worth knowing if it does not drive the reader deeper into this relationship.
