For us to abide in Christ and for Christ to abide in us, we need to take Christ as our dwelling place and everything, we need to eat Christ as the hidden manna, and we need to love the Lord Jesus. In John 15 the Lord Jesus said, Abide in Me and I in you; […]
We Abide in Christ and Christ Abides in us as we Live in and with the Divine Trinity
For us to learn the secret of being in Christ as the empowering One (Phil. 4:12-13) is for us to learn the secret of abiding in Christ; to abide in Christ is for us to dwell in Him so that we may experience and enjoy His abiding in us. Paul learned the secret of being […]
