Abiding Principles
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5 (NIV)
Lord, every now and then, You remind me of what life will be without You. I have learned that to abide in You is a foundational principle of true discipleship. I confess that there are times when my passion for You is not as it should be. More times than not it is because I have sin in my life or I desire something that is contrary to Your will for me.
Today, I make the decision to accept God’s verdict on sin as judged on the Cross of Jesus Christ. I identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of my Lord. I choose to live in Your light and leave the darkness of sin . Walk with me on today as I cut out sinful thoughts and actions. Give me the freedom to walk as a child of God that only comes to those who abide in You. Keep me by Your grace.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
