The Word for Saturday, 27 April 2024
Jesus said:
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
John 15:4 (ESV)
Whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him.
1 John 2:5 (ESV)
3
Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. |
4
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. |
5
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. |
4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, |
5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: |
6
whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. |
