If You Abide - John 8:31-32

John 8:31-32 ESV 

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Abiding in His word is the act of following Christ, for He is the word of God. In this word we find and experience the truth. It is His light that serves as a lamp to our feet as we persevere in our journey on earth in the truth and the freedom that leads to eternal life. 

The way through the darkness of the world is the light in the distance which has drawn near. His word becomes ours as we become His body in the world.
