12 Bible Verses about Abiding With God

Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it remained on Him.

I did not know Him myself, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining, is the One who is to baptize in the Holy Spirit.'

Whoever continues to eat my flesh and drink my blood continues to live in union with me and I in union with him.

So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in Him, "If you live in accordance with what I teach, you are really my disciples,

You must remain in union with me and I will remain in union with you. Just as no branch by itself can bear fruit unless it remains united to the vine, so you cannot unless you remain in union with me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in union with me and I in union with him will bear abundant fruit, because you cannot do anything cut off from union with me.

If anyone does not remain in union with me, he is thrown away as a mere branch and is dried up; then it is picked up and thrown into the fire and burned up.

If you remain in union with me and my words remain in you, you may ask whatever you please and you shall have it.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. You must remain in my love.

If you continue to keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in His love.

You have not chosen me; I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, that your fruit may remain too, so that the Father may grant you, as bearers of my name, whatever you ask Him for.

So take a look at the goodness and the severity of God; severity to those who have fallen, but goodness to you, on condition that you continue to live by His goodness; otherwise, you too will be pruned away.
