This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, and he in us: He’s given us life from his life, from his very own Spirit. Also, we’ve seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.

Living steadily in Him! What a phrase! Jesus invited His disciples to do just this when He said: "Abide in Me, and I in you." The word abide denotes living in a place steadily and consistently. It gives a sense of permanence. Those who abide in a place are not transient, they buy a house, raise their children and put down roots. They become a part of the community.
Therefore, child of God, put down roots, stay put and trust! Amen!
