Abiding in Christ is a process.
I realized this morning that I have been doing all of the correct things in my Christian walk like: reading my Bible, going to church, praying, witnessing and doing good works. If we are not doing these things, our walk with God will be limited.
After doing all of these things (because we are suppose to), I found I was still missing out on the victory, peace and intimate relationship with Christ. I had become "works" oriented instead of "Christ" oriented.
To Abide in Christ is to be in the 'being' mode. I still want to do the things He has called me to do but I now want to do it with God's strength and for His glory. The intimate relationship with the Father is more important than the things we do or don't do.
The more we are abiding in Him, the more we will be faithful. We will hear His voice clearer and have more peace in our life. To abide is to experience His presence...
