“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.”
John 15:4 NKJV
A Word of Wisdom
Jesus Christ is all we need in this life. As He said, He is the tree and we are the branches. If a branch is broken off the tree, it no longer lives but starts to die and dry out. An what do we do with dead branches? We burn them for fire. This is what will happen to anyone that is not attached to Jesus. The end of that persons fate is hell fire. But if we abide in Him, or stay attached to Jesus, we will have eternal life. He lives forever, He has already been immortalized, and He promises this to us believers.
So how do we abide in Him? By keeping His words in us. He is the Word of God that became flesh. All the words that He spoke come from our Father in heaven Yah. Jesus is Yah in the flesh. God is a Spirit. So in order for us to know Him, He came as a human being through Jesus, and called Him His only Son. Jesus is in Yah and Yah is in Him. All His words bring life. For man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Yah.
Every single word that Jesus spoke came from Yah. If we abide in what Jesus told us, we shall never die, but we will all live. Love Him and keep His commandments. Keep His sayings. Hold on to His words of life. His parables, everything we read in the gospels, keep them in your memory, to the point where you start to speak just like Him. An as He said, out of your belly shall flow living waters. Why? Because the words you will start to speak will be His words of life, for us to share to others as well.
Abide in Jesus, He will manifest Himself to you and bless you with the Holy Spirit, that seals us with His promises and gives us the power to overcome death unto eternal life.
