"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for whatever you please and you will get it.’’ John 15:7
What does remaining in Jesus mean? It means to have an intimate union with the unchanging Son of God who existed before all things and in Whom we live, move and exist. How do we remain in Jesus? We remain in Him only by abiding in love, because He is love which is constant, patient, forgiving and full of compassion. We abide in His love when we keep His Words - indeed, without treasuring His Words in our hearts, we can never hope to possess love. If we remain in Him and treasure His Words, Jesus assures us we can ask of Him anything we desire, it is certain to be granted to us.
