John 15:4, “Abide in me…”

“The Phrase “abide in me” is clarified by the added statement “and my words abide in you” (v.7). Christ desired that his disciples continue to obey the words that he had spoken to them so that their lives would be full of joy. Dependence on Christ, communion with him, and obedience to him will result in a fruitful life for the Lord.” ESV Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible
