Continuance Is Not Optional
Jesus said, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples, and the truth will set you free.”
Freedom is not found in a moment of belief.
It is found in a life of abiding.
Some experience the power of God—gifts, miracles, great moments of faith—yet later drift back into merely human living. When the life of Christ is no longer being nourished, that person becomes like a dead leaf on a living plant. And the Gardener, who desires living fruit, removes what is dead.
The warning is loving but real: life must remain connected to the source.
