Importance of Abiding in Christ
3) Prepares Us for the coming of our Lord.
1John 3 v 28 says "and now little children abide in Him that when He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." As a little kid, if I behaved properly while my parents were out I would look forward to the time they would come back home. On the other hand if I was naughty or did something wrong, my parents would find me in bed by the time they were back home. Why? simply because I didn't want to meet them with a bad behavioral report.
Same applies with our heavenly father. As stewards our goal should be to present a good report to the Master when He comes. 1 John 3 v 28 shows us that this can be achieved by abiding in Christ. May God give us the grace to Abide in Him.
Stay Blessed
