Greetings Zach†, The New Scofield Bible is a treasure! I have enjoyed using it, being one of my nine Study Bibles.. "To abide in Christ is, on the one hand, to have no known sin unjudged and unconfessed, no interest into which He is not brought, no life which He cannot share. On the other hand, the abiding one takes all burdens to Him, and draws all wisdom, life and strength from Him. It is not unceasing consciousness of these things, and of Him, but that nothing is allowed in the life which separates from Him." (1) I would liken this last phrase, "nothing is allowed in the life which separates from Him", as being derived from Romans 8:35-39, which states: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35 [ESV]) Blessings to you, Makarios † Source: The New Scofield Study Bible, Reader's Edition, 1967, Oxford, commentary from John 15:4 |
