ABIDE

Watch against lip religion. Above all abide in Christ and he will abide in you.

Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Jesus abides in believers to the degree that his words abide in them, and believers abide in Jesus to the degree that they obey his words. Every believer abides in Jesus to some degree, resulting in different degrees of fruitfulness.89

Andrew David Naselli

Abide in me says Jesus. Cling to me. Stick fast to me. Live the life of close and intimate communion with me. Get nearer to me. Roll every burden on me. Cast your whole weight on me. Never let go your hold on me for a moment. Be, as it were, rooted and planted in me. Do this and I will never fail you. I will ever abide in you.

J. C. Ryle
