ABIDE
It all begins with an idea.
To remain, adhere to, stand by, act in accordance with, hold to, obey, to persist.
These are a few synonyms of the word Abide.
The word abide may be one of the weightiest single words in the Bible. Other similar single word that comes to mind are Holy, Righteous, Redeemed and Forgiven. These words, like abide, are pregnant with meaning.
To abide in Jesus is an invitation that the Lord extends to every Christian. It is an invitation with a promise. “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7, NASB).
So how do we abide in Christ? We abide by being conscious of Him in our day-to-day activities. Staying grounded in His word and continually talking with Him.
Personally, I have found it easier to abide in Jesus when I engage with other Christian who are pursing Jesus. I am reminded that Jesus has given an invitation to always ABIDE in Him.
Our hope with our ABIDE design is to help remind you and other believers that Jesus has extended to us the greatest invitation. May we respond to the invitation to abide in Jesus.
