CONTINUING IN GOD’S WORD

“So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples.’”  (John 8:32 Amplified Bible)

In his book “True Discipleship” William MacDonald identifies what he calls “terms of discipleship as laid down by the Savior of the world.” One of those key terms of discipleship is “An unswerving continuance in His Word. For real discipleship there must be continuance. It is easy enough to start well, to burst forth in a blaze of glory. But the test of reality is endurance to the end. Spasmodic obedience to the Scriptures will not do. Christ wants those who will follow Him in constant… obedience.”
