To abide in him means that we persevere in the faith, clinging to its Object all the way.
We will practice righteousness (1 John 2:29).
As believers, we will pursue a holy and righteous life through abstaining from sin and participating in repentance. Our goal should be to live a righteous life by displaying the Lord’s righteous nature, which is proof that he lives in us by his Spirit and is changing us.
The Outcome of our Salvation
Are you questioning your salvation? It is sometimes challenging to know if we have eternal life with Jesus because we sin, we are weak, and we change. So we wonder if God will be angry enough that he will rescind his free grace and the gracious gift of heaven.
But Jesus Christ never changes. What we must realize is that God’s love is unconditional, and the Object of our assurance is immovable. What God has started, he will complete! David Jeremiah says, “Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God’s love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.”
God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the one who miraculously saves, and he is the one who bears fruit in us. He is our assurance!
