Abiding In The Word!

John; 8:31
(Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.)

Abiding is to endure permanently without yielding or to stay around. First we must believe in Jesus that He is God the Son.
John; 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.)
How can we abide in the Word if we don't first believe the word of God. Jesus tells us all through the Bible that He is Savior of the world and that their is forgiveness in no other. If you have put your faith in Him and have been born again, abide in Him. When some of the those following Jesus were leaving because of His teaching, He asked His disciples "Do you also want to go away"?
John; 7:68
(But Simon Peter answerd Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.)

How can we do anything without abiding in Him? It would be like trying to put out a fire by dragging a fire hose up to the fire without connecting to the fire hydrant. Jesus tells us that we can do nothing without abiding in Him.
John; 15:5
("I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.)
So for us to be productive as God wants us to be, we must stay in the Word of God. If you are not in the Word of God how will you know what God expects from you? We are to be obedient to the Word of God and it will not be possible if we don't know what the Word says.

As Jesus says. "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples". Are you abiding in Gods Word? If not, start today and become His disciple.

God Bless You!
