1 | Abide in Christ. | John 15:4 | kalos | 5096 | ||
John 15:4 *abide* "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." (note at John 15:4, New Scofield Reference Bible, 1967, Oxford University Press) |

Good notes! The Oxford Annotated RSV states, "As the true vine Jesus was the true Israel, fulfilling the vocation in which the old Israel had failed (Is. 5:1-7; Jer. 2:21; Ezek. 19:10-14). The fruit bearing (Gal. 5:22-23) of the new Israel (the church) springs from union (actual incorporation) with him (v.5), through prayer (v.7), and loving obedience (vv.9-10), issuing in joy (v.11)." The Ryrie Expanded Edition Study Bible states, "John explains what this means when he uses the same word in 1 John 3:24. Abiding depends on keeping Christ's commandments (v.10)." |
