How do you abide in Christ?

Some teach the decision to abide (live) in Christ is ongoing for Christians. They say we must work or try to abide in Christ every day. However, Scripture is clear that believers always abide in Christ (1 John 2:24; 2:27; 3:6, 9). Sure, we are learning and growing in our understanding, but we don’t have to try to abide (live) more in Christ. We live in Him forever!
