My Note:  Jesus said, "Abide in me"  Ref. Scripture John 15:3-10

 Jesus said, "Abide in me"

Scripture:   John 15:3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8  Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9  ķAs the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue 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 in his love.

Is the Word of God sealed in your mind and written in your heart whereby you have "life"?

Or are you too busy with church and church activities, as in playing tabernacle,
to take the time to get to know Jesus Christ whereby His Word, His Spirit, the Holy Spirit,
unites with your spirit (your intellect) and you become one in Him?

All you need understand is that Jesus is the Living Word of God... then read John 15:3-10!
John 15:3-10
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. [5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. [9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue 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 in his love.
If Hebrews 5:11-14 applies to you, then begin "To Day" to seek Him through His Word.

Remember the words Paul quoted from Psalm 95 so many times:
"While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation (Hebrews 3:15)."

By the way, the Greek word translated "write" in Hebrews 8:10 is "epi-grapho"
which means to "overwrite" or "inscribe", i.e. to "engrave".

So get rid of all those other religious "graven images" in your mind as per the 2nd Commandment (Ex. 20:4)
and begin "To Day" to allow Him to "write His law (His every word of it) in your heart"!

Or you can wait until it is too late and discover your shame and spiritual nakedness
and come to know you missed out on the first resurrection when you try to cash in all the things you did in the name of Christianity, while you ignored Christ (forsook the Word of God) whereby you could have received "life"!

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Go dwell with Him in His Word and you will get to know Him
and He will come dwell with you, i.e. in your mind and in your heart!

Yes, Christ in you and you in Him!

Hebrews 8:11
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Jeremiah 31:34
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD...
During the Millennium, the two rivers of Truth and Justice
from the King of kings and Lord of lords shall flow from Mt. Zion
throughout all the world and there shall be no lack of the knowledge of the LORD!

It is written... therefore so shall it be!

[12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Jeremiah 31:34 (...cont.) for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
He will forgive your iniquity now and remember your sin no more if you come to Him and repent and ask for forgiveness. You "see": "We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [2] A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. "
[13] In that He saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
In the same manner that the earthly tabernacle was declared to be only a model of the real thing
by virtue of the fact it was made after a "pattern",
so is the old covenant made obsolete by the fact that He declared there would be a New Covenant,
the "finishing" of which has not yet been completed.

But as Paul said regarding the "vanishing away", all man made tabernacles are temporal
and all that is earthly shall pass away, but the true tabernacle remains eternal.

So cast aside "churchianity" and the "traditions of men" and take part of the New Covenant... To Day.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
