John: What It Means To Abide In Christ

John: What It Means To Abide In Christ

Picture a branch.

If that branch is on the ground, it’s dead.

A severed branch bears no fruit.

However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it’s alive.

In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us.

Specifically, He tells us to ‘abide’ in Him (as a branch on a vine).

But what does the word ‘abide’ really mean? That will be the focus of today’s study.

John: The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit

John: The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit

Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do?

In John 14, Jesus promised that the ‘Holy Spirit’ would appear after His departure.

“I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth.” – John 14:16

Jesus also said that this ‘Spirit’ would be of great blessing to His disciples.

So, what kind of blessing would that be?

That will be the focus of today’s study in John 14.
