Abide

Jesus invites us to abide in Him, a vital connection that enables us to produce spiritual fruit like love, joy, and peace. Abiding begins with setting our default mental focus on Christ rather than worldly concerns. It involves embracing our primary identity as God's children above all other roles, and cultivating a genuine desire for a relationship with God. Without this connection to Christ, we cannot produce spiritual fruit or experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
