Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:4-7)
Abide means to remain. Christ is simply saying remain in me.
As long as we remain in the Father we bring forth fruit. The fruit we bring forth is from abiding in Him.
Abiding in Him strengthens our relationship with Him. Abiding in Him keeps us rooted and grounded in Him.
Abiding in Him allows love to flow from one person to the next. Abiding in Him allows you to serve as Jesus did. Abiding in Him allows the Holy Spirit to flow through you.
Abiding in Him allows us to enjoy the fellowship of His oneness. Abiding in Him allows us to embrace everything He did.
Are you abiding?
Be Blessed
