ABIDE PART 2 – REMAIN

P. Jason Hubbard

John 15:4-7 CSB – “Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, 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.”

1. THE CALL TO REMAIN IS AN .

Matthew 11:28-30 CSB – “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

2. THE INVITATION TO REMAIN ALSO COMES AS A .

1 John 2:18 CSB – Children, it is the last hour. And as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. By this we know that it is the last hour.

Matthew 24:24-26 CSB – “For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Take note: I have told you in advance. So if they tell you, ‘See, he’s in the wilderness!’ don’t go out; or, ‘See, he’s in the storerooms!’ do not believe it.”

1 Peter 5:8 CSB – Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.

Hebrews 10:24-25 CSB – And let us watch out for one another to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.

“The enemy will never tempt you with something that’s enticing to someone else.”

4. PURSUE SO THAT YOU DON’T GET DECEIVED.

Hebrews 3:12-13 CSB – Watch out, brothers and sisters, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that none of you is hardened by sin’s deception.

1 John 2:19 CSB – They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.

Hebrews 4:2 CSB – For we also have received the good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith.

5. THERE HAS TO BE A COMBINATION OF WHAT WE HAVE AND WHAT WE .

Hebrews 2:1 CSB – For this reason, we must pay attention all the more to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away.

James 1:22-25 CSB – But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was. But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works ​– ​this person will be blessed in what he does.

“When a man stops believing in God, he doesn’t then believe in nothing, he believes anything.” G.K. Chesterton
