Abiding in the Lord

It is not sufficient that we should occasionally come into fellowship with God. We must abide in him. “As the branch can not bear fruit of itself,” said Jesus, “except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” It is by abiding in him that we are kept from sin. “Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not.” “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”
“I have learned the wondrous secret Of abiding in the Lord; I have found the strength and sweetness Of confiding in his word; I have tasted life's pure fountain, I am trusting in his blood, I have lost myself in Jesus, I am sinking into God.”
“I'm abiding in the Lord, And confiding in his word. And I'm hiding, safely hiding, In the bosom of his love.”
“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”
