He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked"(1John 2:6). Unquestionably, we who profess the LORD Jesus Christ to be our LORD and Saviour, ought to walk as Jesus walked. But, what does it mean to Abide in Christ? The Greek word for "abide" is meno. It has been translated as "abide", "continue", and "endure". The Gospel of John, Chapters 14 and 15 are a feast for God's children to read, understand, and savour. The LORD Jesus is giving His last instructions to His disciples the evening before His crucifixion.
"In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you"(John 14:2). He mentions the concept of
"mansions"in His Father's house. These
"mansions"are literally dwellings or abodes. Here, He begins a discourse on abiding-- the secret of the Christian walk.
