NASB | 1 John 2:3 ¶ By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:3 ¶ And this is how we know [daily, by experience] that we have come to know Him [to understand Him and be more deeply acquainted with Him]: if we habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings). |
Bible Question (short): abide |
Question (full): To abide means to stay or remain. So to abide in Christ is to remain or stay in Him. The next logical question would be how do we get "in Him". We get in Him 1 Corinthians 1:30 (Weymouth NT) But you — and it is all God’s doing — are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance; If I have this right then God is the one who placed me in Christ and if I remain or stay in Him (by choice) I should walk as He walked. According to the Gospels He walked uprightly following the LORD's commands all His commands. Neither turning to the right or the left. It seems to me that this is how we should walk to walk as He walked. Does that make any sense? |
