12 Bible Verses about Abiding With God

John also made this statement--"I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of the heavens, and it remained upon him.

I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him--he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

He who takes my flesh for his food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to him.

So Jesus went on to say to those Jews who had believed him: "If you remain constant to my Message, you are truly my disciples;

Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains united to the vine; no more can you, unless you remain united to me.

I am the Vine, you are the branches. He that remains united to me, while I remain united to him--he bears fruit plentifully; for you can do nothing apart from me.

If any one does not remain united to me, he is thrown away, as a branch would be, and withers up. Such branches are collected and thrown into the fire, and are burnt.

If you remain united to me, and my teaching remains in your hearts, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be yours.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; remain in my love.

If you lay my commands to heart, you will remain in my love; just as I have laid the Father's commands to heart and remain in his love.

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that should remain, so that the Father might grant you whatever you ask in my Name.

See, then, both the goodness and the severity of God--his severity towards those who fell, and his goodness towards you, provided that you continue to confide in that goodness; otherwise you, also, will be cut off.
