Overview: Yahuah’s roles in the “planting” picture
Scripture uses garden/vineyard language to show how Yahuah:
- Initiates (plants/calls)
- Nurtures (waters/feeds)
- Trains (prunes/disciplines)
- Evaluates (seeks fruit)
- Protects (hedge/watch)
This page breaks down Yahuah as Planter, Gardener, and Vinedresser, with cross references and the posture of the believer for each.
