Abide In Him

    Faith in our God is a true gift. His gift of salvation is received just by believing. What does Jesus ask of us after we believe? To abide and remain in Him.  Being rooted in Him will continually transform our lives into something we could never have imagined or done on our own. Jesus tells us:

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” John 15:5

     With that abiding love comes the spiritual fruit that is tough to find in the world around us, especially today. How often to you witness pure joy, peace, gentleness, kindness and self-control?

     We believe we can do so much on our own. Jesus tells us that without Him we can do nothing! Nothing of eternal value is possible without His abiding love. Remain in Him. Abide in Him. And then, we can do all things.

Jesus,

Keep us rooted deep in Your Word, in our connection with You. Never let us go. Grow good spiritual fruit in us as we walk out the rest of our lives.

Amen
