Abiding

Summary

The sermon titled 'Abiding' explores the concept of abiding in Christ as taught in 1 John 2:26-27. It emphasizes that the Spirit of God abides in believers passively from the new birth, teaching them truth and enabling them to live fruitfully. The preacher contrasts this divine indwelling with the active, practical abiding believers are called to maintain daily, which involves trusting God, bearing spiritual fruit, and persevering through trials. The message highlights the assurance of salvation and the importance of continual spiritual growth and dependence on Christ.
