Abiding in Jesus

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me" - John 15:4

As we think of the Christian life, this is the foundation of it all; abiding in Jesus. The question is: How do we abide in Jesus? To abide in Jesus is to "remain" in Jesus. To remain or abide in Jesus is to live daily walking and growing with Him. To abide in Jesus is to regularly read the Bible, regularly pray to Him, regularly obey His commandments. To abide in Jesus is to know Him, love Him and walk with him and "in Him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving" (Colossians 2:6-7).

This Christian life is NOT an easy one, but the good news is that we have the Holy Spirit in us leading us and we have Jesus guiding and empowering us! If we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit! Keep your eyes on Him and things above!
