ABIDE IN ME

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 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. 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. 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 our hearts are not in touch with JESUS, they pine away and wither, just like a branch, that is separated from the Vine. Constrain Jesus daily to tarry with you.

He shall cover thee with His feathers, 

and under His wings shalt thou trust. 

If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. But they constrained HIM, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And HE went in to tarry with them. And when Lydia was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. 

Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

He that saith he abideth in HIM ought himself also so to walk, even as HE walked. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. Ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is Truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM. Now remember: It's not what you know, It's Who you know, that matters the most in this brief life we live here on Earth.

And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at His coming. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. 

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, 

if any man have a quarrel against any: 

even as Christ forgave you, 

so also do ye.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in HIM, and HE in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which HE hath given us. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
