1 | The Abiding Life | John 15:6 | DocTrinsograce | 132631 | ||
We know from this verse that as believers we abide in Christ. Let us contrast our lives with the characteristics in John 15 of an abiding life to see if we are, indeed, abiding in Christ. Verse 2a, 4 and 5: They bear fruit, demonstrating that they are disciples of Christ. Verses 2b: They are pruned by God. (See also Hebrews 12) God decides what needs to be removed in the believers life. Verses 7: They know the joy of availing prayer. Verse 10: They keep the Lord's commandments. Verses 12 and 13:They love those who are abiding in Christ, because Christ loves His own. Verses 18 through 20: They are frequently misunderstood. Verses 26 through 27: They openly testify to what God has done through Christ. |

Good post. Upon doing a thorough study of God's Word, one has to draw the conclusion there is definitely some major costs involved in this proposition of discipleship or Christianity. I guess we all realize to some this is not a very attractive proposition. I'm convinced the first and most difficult job for us as christians is to help convince those folks there truly is a God AND that He meant every word in our Bible. Rom 14:11 For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD." 12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God. God bless you in making such a good post to this Forum. Rowdy |

G K Chesterton said, "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried." Yes, there is some sacrifice. Or, at least, it seems like sacrifice at the time. But, as the missionary Jim Elliot once said, "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Thank you for your comments, Rowdy. |
