Vs. 6 "He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." NKJV

I agree that we, as Christians, have become so good at justifying sin in our lives.  I find myself thinking more about God's grace and less about his justice.  The fact is that he is as just as he is gracious.  If we are truly abiding (to remain; continue; stay ) in Him we will live the same kind of life He did.  Wow. How far I am from that!  John 15:4 says "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me."  We cannot be like him ("walk just as he walked") if we are not abiding in him.  Thank you, ladies, for helping keep me accountable and challenging me to abide in Him daily.
