Have you not known that the purpose of the branch is to bear fruit? Though there are uses for grape leaves, people don’t raise grapevines to look at the pretty leaves. They take the trouble to cultivate, plant, water and tend the vines so that fruit can be enjoyed. In this sense, we can say that fruit represents Christian character listed as the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. God’s work in us and our connection to Him should be evident by fruit and perhaps by much fruit. That’s it!!!
