Christ lived in constant fellowship with the Father. He prayed often, taking time to talk with His Father and receive direction for His ministry.
Our goal as followers of Jesus Christ is to know Him better and become as much like Him in this life as is humanly possible. It is a process of growing and maturing that will not be complete until we see Him.
We must talk to God about our sins, acknowledging them, accepting His forgiveness, and asking Him to help us gain victory over them.
To live in close relationship with Christ, we must depend on Him for wisdom, strength, and direction in life.
To have an intimate relationship with Him, we must not be deliberately holding on to some rebellious attitude or action that we know we should confess and forsake.
The consequences of taking sin lightly can be very serious. If we decided that we don't want to confess our sins because we don't desire to give them up, we can expect discipline.
Abiding also means that we listen attentively to what God has to say to us in the Bible.
At the end of our life's day, when we stand before Christ, the greatest words we could ever hear will be these: "Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:23
