Abiding in Christ

 Abiding in Christ.

In the Gospel of John Jesus is recorded as saying,

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:4,5.

Here is the simple explanation.

In order for the Christian to bear fruit we must abide in Jesus. A relationship characterized  by trust, prayer, obedience and joy.

Without abiding in Jesus we cannot do anything of eternal value. I would go as far as to say, a person who is not in a right relationship with Christ Jesus, is not a Christian at all.

So the question remains, are you in a right relationship with Jesus?

Please think about it.
