The cleansing power of the WORD Jesus has spoken to His disciples, then is equivalent to the life of the life of the vine pulsating through the ages.
The LOGOS has already taken root in the life of the believers.
Refer back to :
The disciples have already been rendered clean because of the WORD spoken to them.
The Father has cleansed/pruned them through the WORD Jesus has spoken.
We must receive, respond and react to the WORD of the Lord.
Every time we hear the WORD of the Lord, we should allow it somehow to purify us, to cleanse us.
Remain is from the word MENO.
It means to stay, to lodge with.
It can also mean a dwelling, a stay.
One of the slang expressions heard over years is “Where do you stay?”
If we are REMAINING in Jesus, we are not only allowing Him to live with us,but we are living in HIM.
Notice the word the KJV uses: ABIDE.
Remember that Hymn ABIDE WITH ME?
It was written by Henry F. Lye.
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh abide with me
I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine Lord abide with me
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where’s death’s sting?
Where, grave thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.
Hold thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death oh Lord abide with me
How are you abiding/remaining in Him?
The promise is that if we go to Him and remain in Him, He remains in us!
Being in Him and Him being in us, reveals to us the idea of ONENESS with Christ.
There is something beautiful about being one with Christ.
So the question remains: “How do we remain in Him?”
TIME
Consistently in the WORD of God
Constantly in prayer
Consciously living for Jesus.
What happens if you do that?
You remain connected to the vine
You put yourself in position to bear fruit
“The knot of the branch abides in the vine, and the sap of the vine abides in the branch, and there is a constant communication between them.”
—Matthew Henry
Notice the strong warning: “Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”
BEAR means to carry, to bring, to lead, endure and uphold.
Why should we bear fruit?
To Glorify God
To account for our coming judgement
To live life to its fullest
It is the sum of our creation
It is the design of what we are to do
It is the root and spring of all Good
It is part of the abundant life.
Without being connected to the vine, we can do nothing!
It is from the DIVINE power of Christ in which we live, move and have our being.
2 Corinthians
We depend on Christ no only as the vine for support, but we have to be connected to Him to get the sap from the roots!
I am troubled by this passage.
In fact, I have grieved over it.
There is a point made in the Old Testament book of Job:
Job 8:11-13
Remember the fig tree Jesus cursed?
What happened?
This passage should make us shudder if we are apart from Christ.
And it should make us plead with those we know who are apart from Christ.
Fire is the most applicable place for withered branches for they are no good for anything else.
1 John 2:18-19
Again, to remain in Him and allowing His words to remain in us means what?
Fellowship with Christ
Observing and living by His teachings
In doing so, you and I can ask in prayer whatever we wish: purpose, desire, want.
But it has to be something that remains in Him.
There is a condition.
You cannot ask for something that is not in Jesus.
So what would that be?
Our fellowship with Christ is maintained by the WORD: “Remain in me and I in you.”
Our fellowship is maintained by PRAYER.
Abiding in Christ as one’s heart’s delight shall through Christ have their heart’s desire.
PEACE with prevail!
