Abide in Obedience

Few of us are satisfied with who we are, all of us want to see positive changes in our lives. John knows we need and want assurance and clarity of our position of abiding in Christ. We’re not given false hope or blanket affirmation that feels good to hear but is empty. He also doesn’t tell us to rely on some emotional feeling or charismatic experience. He gives us a positive assertion of what a Christian is before He calls us to examine our lives in light of a series self reflecting reality checks.
