12 Bible Verses about Abiding With God

John also testified, "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.

I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, "The person on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

The person who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

So Jesus told those Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are really my disciples.

"Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in him produces much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.

Unless a person abides in me, he is thrown away like a pruned branch and dries up. People gather such branches, throw them into a fire, and they are burned up.

"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and you'll receive it.

Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you'll abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

"You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

Consider, then, the kindness and severity of God: his severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness toward you if you continue receiving his kindness. Otherwise, you too will be cut off.
