Bible Verses
John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides
in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me
you can do nothing. (7) If you abide in Me and My words abide
in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
Words of Ministry
In order for the Lord to abide in us, it is necessary to let
His words abide in us. By what means did we hear the gospel
and receive the Lord as our Savior? It was by His words. When
we received His word, we actually received the Lord Himself
because the Lord is in His word and He Himself is the Word.
According to the same principle, if we want to allow the Lord
to abide in us, we must let His words abide in us.
Now, since we have in our hands the Scriptures which are full
of the Lord's words, we should not say that the Lord is far
from us, that He is still mysterious, or that He is still so
spiritual instead of being substantial. Praise the Lord that
we have something very substantial, available, and practical
in our hands. We have the Word. We can read the Word and
receive it with our heart and our spirit. We can contact the
word of the Lord in our spirit day by day and even moment by
moment. As long as we are contacting the Lord's word, we are
contacting the Lord Himself.
The Lord is very mysterious. For this reason, we can never
understand Him by our imagination. Rather, we must read the
sixty-six books of the Bible. We must read these sixty-six
books word by word because all of the words express, explain,
and define our mysterious Lord. If we want to know Him, we
must know the Word and how to deal with the Word.
