What has God done to "purge" you?

In The Gospel according to JOHN, chapter 15, verse 2, we read that:

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

This question already assumes that YOU are not an evil branch that brings forth evil fruit, but that you are good and bring forth good fruit! So, now that we know that you "beareth fruit", I want to know how have you been "purge[d]... that [you] may bring forth more fruit".

It is a good question. Still not sure about the fruit that is purged, but I wonder if our fruit isn't the good works we do and those works are recorded (harvested or purged) for our benefit and then he expects us to do more good and on and on.
