Picture a branch.

If that branch is on the ground, it's dead.

A severed branch bears no fruit.

However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it's alive.

In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us.

Specifically, He tells us to 'abide' in Him (as a branch on a vine).

But what does the word 'abide' really mean?

That will be the focus of today's study.
