If we abide in Jesus as we live, then we are seated with Christ in heaven even now. Those, who abide in Jesus, will produce the fruits that Jesus has produced. Jesus pleased God by doing God's will so also they will please the Father. "John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

Christians believe that if we ask Jesus Christ to come in to our hearts he will come and live in our hearts and he will live in our hearts continually from then on. They also think that thus they will live with Jesus Christ not only now but throughout eternity. This sounds very good and it is also very easy. As good and as easy as it is, it is not true and it is a lie. The source of lie is not God but the devil. The statement, "ask Jesus to come into your heart and Jesus Christ will abide in you from then on," probably could have started in children’s bible study or in a Sunday school and it became a church cliché. We may think it is positive thinking. But, if it is not true, it is no more a positive thinking. God can not lie and all lying starts from the devil. As good as it seems it is deception. As innocent as it is a deception will not lead us to God, but it will lead us to damnation.

Jesus Christ requires his disciples to abide in him. If we follow Jesus Christ, then we are also his disciples, and then we should abide in him. If we abide in Jesus Christ, then we will produce the fruit for the Father. That is, we will live a pure life as Jesus Christ lived, we will do the works that Jesus Christ did and we will teach the doctrine that Jesus Christ taught. Abide in Jesus Christ is the spiritual union of Jesus Christ with a person to enable the person to live as Jesus Christ lived. If we say that we abide in Jesus Christ and we do not live a pure life as Jesus Christ lived, then we are not telling the truth. If we abide in Jesus Christ, then we will follow the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.

Abide in Jesus Christ is a supernatural experience. In this, the person of God lives in us and he allows us to live in him. The omnipresence of God is not the abiding of God in his people. It is a personal experience of intimacy of us with God. Since he is a Spirit, it is possible for our spirit of man to abide with him and he in us if he allows it. God shows us the requirement for this abiding. If we love him enough to obey his commandments, we can abide in him and he will abide with us.  "John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." If we abide in him while we live in this world, then this abiding will continue through out eternity. "John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Luke 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine."  Thus, we will live with God forever in his glory.

God Bless You
