12 Bible Verses about Abiding With God

And John testified, “I watched the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He rested on Him.

I didn’t know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I in him.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples.

Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.

“As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Remain in My love.

If you keep My commands you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you—if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
