—1 John 2:24-29

I looked up the meaning for abide and a few very powerful meanings jumped out at me: to wait patiently, to endure, to dwell and to withstand. All of these words describe what we as Christians need to do to live the Christian life and to receive the promise of eternal life. When we abide in Christ we can stand strong against the enemy’s attack, we have an overwhelming peace that carries us through each day and we have a hope that allows us to wait patiently for the day of his return.
