Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
can ye, except ye abide in Me.
Jesus makes it very clear with this statement: He is the source of
life. If you snap a branch from a tree, it has absolutely no chance of
survival. It withers up, dries out, and is only useful to be burned at that
point. Our works must abide in Him, or be fuel for the fire. Our lives must
remain in Him, just as surely as He must remain in the Father. He is the way,
the truth, and the life, and anything we ever hope to accomplish is contained
within Him and Him alone. All creation is contained within Him, and all creation
ultimately must glorify Him.
