The
word is objective and subjective. It is objective in that it is the
spoken word of God and every word written down will not return void.
Every yot and title that is punctuation is that objective law of God.
What the preaching of the objective written word does on the heart is
cause it to rejoice, and in that sense there are subjective results. How
can you define rejoicing.
Abiding in Christ is abiding in His word. Because He is the object of our faith and our faith is strengthened by spending time in His word. But our abiding is not empowered by us. The only reason we abide in Him is because we belong to Him for \"without me you can do nothing.\" Really He is holding us because we are always wondering. We are in the process of regeneration but we have not arrived at the total renewal of our soul and body. We wait in expectation groaning as in the pains of child birth just as the whole creation waits in expectation. So until we get there on the other side abiding in Christ will be mixed with sorrow and pain and joy, and peace. It will go back and forth as if we were groaning for our new estate. That is why abiding in Christ has only one power of abiding and that is from Him not from us. |
