So does living according to John 15 = death?

Those who do not obey Jesus by being born again cannot abide on the vine. The same Jesus said,
John 10:28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Nice but that has to do with the flesh not your ability to choose.

We choose to be born again. When we are REALLY born again we are partakers in the divine nature. It is impossible for the saint to continue in sin. The saint might choose sin and experience it's pleasures for a season...but the new nature will propel the saint of God to their knees in repentance. The key is to surrender to the grace and that divine nature imparted to you. This is called walking in the Spirit. Turning to obey the Law isn't the answer.
