abide in me: these words are no law of moses, demanding from the sinful what they cannot perform. they are the command of love, which is only ever a promise in a different shape.

“abiding in Him is not a work that we have to do as the condition for enjoying His salvation, but a consenting to let Him do all for us, and in us, and through us. It is a work He does for us—the fruit and the power of His redeeming love. our part is simply to yield, to trust, and to wait for what He has engaged to perform.”
