Abiding in Christ: What Does It Mean? | John 15:1–6 | Episode 65

What does abiding in Christ really mean? In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the vine and His people as the branches. But what does it actually mean for a Christian to abide in Him?In this episode, we look at John 15 in light of the cross, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and John’s later explanation in his first epistle. We explore the connection between abiding, believing, eternal life, prayer, love, and spiritual fruit, and why abiding in Christ should lead us toward confidence in Him rather than fear that we are constantly falling out of fellowship with God.The heart of the discussion is wonderfully simple: abiding is rooted in believing Christ, and the Holy Spirit given to us provides assurance that He truly abides in us.Read the companion study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/065-what-is-abiding-in-christ-john-15-1-6/
