What Did I Say About Abiding in Me?

You want to know what I said about abiding in Me? Let Me remind you.  In John 15:4-5, I said: “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.”

You cannot grow, thrive, or bear fruit without Me. Just as a branch cannot survive without the vine, your life cannot have lasting purpose unless you remain in Me.

In John 15:6, I warned: “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.” This is not a small matter. If you do not abide in Me, your life becomes empty-spiritually dead. And in the end, there is judgment.

But I also gave you a promise. In John 15:7, I said:  “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”When you remain close to Me-when My words dwell in your heart-your prayers align with My will, and you will see fruit in your life.

In John 15:10, I explained how to abide: If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Fathers commandments and abide in His love. Abiding is not just a feeling, it’s a way of life it means obeying My commands staying connected to Me and walking in love and truth.

Why Do My Words Matter? Why Should You Listen to Me? Because I did not speak on My own. In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak.”
Every word I spoke came from the Father-and His commandment is life everlasting. When you hear Me, you are hearing Him.

And I told you in Matthew 24:35: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Everything around you will change  The world will fade. . But My words will never pass away.

So, if you’re still asking, “What did you say about abiding in You?” Here’s my answer: Abide in Me. Remain in My love. Keep My commandments. Let My words live in you.  Without Me, you can do nothing. But with Me, you will bear much fruit-and live.
