The word abide is used 118 times in the New Testament. So what does abide mean? To “abide” is to live, continue, or remain; so to abide in Christ is to live in Him or remain in Him. When a person is saved, he or she is described as being “in Christ” (Romans 8:2; 2 Corinthians 5:17), held secure in a permanent relationship (John 10:28-29).
Therefore, abiding in Christ is not a special level of Christian experience, rather, it is the position of all TRUE BELIEVERS.
To abide in God means to engage in fellowship with Him by keeping His commitments through the power of the Spirit (1 John 3:23).
We are to live in a permanent state of love and faith. The Christian, who abides in God, will not “deliberately, knowing, and habitually (practice) sin” (1 John 3:6 AMP). SIN IS NO LONGER NORMATIVE.
