The Root and Fruit of Abiding In Christ (1 John 2:28-3:10)

Abiding in Christ does not always feel like the natural thing to do. It’s hard. And from one perspective, we can’t do it. It’s impossible for our human, sin-broken, distracted selves to keep our focus and rest solely at all times in the Lord. And yet, our text this week actually tells us that we must abide in Him and that in Him we have all that we need. How is this possible? Spoiler alert: it is because of who God is and who He says we are. This Sunday, we'll look at the root and fruit of abiding in Christ as our text reminds us of who God is and who we are in Him.
