ABIDING IN CHRIST

ABIDING IN CHRIST

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. (John 15:4-8)
Every doctrine of the Bible enjoins a duty, a duty that grace supplies in the believer. Truth and duty fit together as the hand and the glove, …For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required (Luke 12:48). …But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath (Read Matthew 25:28-29). This very principle is illustrated by the parable of the vine and the branches. First a doctrine is established (namely union with Christ), then a practical command is given by our Lord founded on that doctrine. The duty here is to “Abide in Christ.” Mind you this is not an option but a commanded duty. Christ is not dealing here with the possibility of ‘falling from grace’ but ‘fruit –bearing,’ which is the evidence of being true Disciples of Christ.
For a person to abide in Christ means for one to maintain an intimate connection and identify with the Living Christ and to manifest it by honoring Him above all relations. Judas Iscariot, who was a member of the visible church, like a dead branch on a vine had just been sniped off and made manifest to be false; you may ask, “Pastor how is the matter applied to the visible church today?” Much in the same way; it is said in John 13:30, after Jesus had identified Judas as the traitor, “Immediately he went out.” In 1 John 2:19 we read, “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” Christ is the ‘Head of the Church’ upon which His authority resides. When a person forsakes the assembly where Christ and His doctrine is maintained that person reveals himself (or herself) to never have been under LORDSHIP to Christ.
