John 15:4 ” 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.”

In the 15th Chapter of the Book of John between verses 4-10, Jesus used the word “abide” 10 times…emphasizing the permanence and steadfastness of His relationship with His disciples. Abiding or remaining in Christ isn’t a one time emotional epiphany, but rather a daily committed relationship with Jesus. On our part it involves faith, obedience, dependance, and communion in order that our spiritual life will be fruitful. “Abide in Me, and I in you.”
