Abide in me,
and I in you.
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.
Abide in Me is the command of Jesus to His disciples. The branch must abide in the vine to bear fruit. Abiding is remaining in Christ, continuing in His word, and depending on Him. It is the ongoing relationship that corresponds to the indwelling of Christ. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit. Apart from Him we can do nothing. Abiding is the life of fellowship with God.
