627. Abide or dwell in the love of Christ

Abide or dwell in the love of Christ – John 15:1-4, Ephesians 3:17, John 15:5-12

John 15:1-4

15 I am the true (real) vine, and my Father is the husbandman (a farmer, a cultivator).

² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh (raiseth) away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth (cleanseth) it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now (already) ye are clean (without blemish) through (on account of) the word (logos) which I have spoken unto you.

⁴ Abide (remain, dwell) in me, and I in you (I also (remain) in you). As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except (if not) it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide (remain, dwell) in me.

Ephesians 3:17

¹⁷ That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

John 15:5-12

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth (remain, dwell) in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

⁶ If a man abide (remain, dwell) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men (they) gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁷ If ye abide (remain, dwell) in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will (wish or desire) and it shall be done (come to pass) unto you.

⁸ Herein (in this) is my Father glorified, (in order) that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my (and that ye may become my) disciples.

⁹ (Even as) As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue (abide) ye in my love.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide (dwell, remain) in his love (to regard with favor).

¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy (the joy that is mine) might remain (be) in you, and that your joy might be full (fulfilled).

¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
