		<description>What is required in order to have Jesus &lt;b&gt;ABIDE&lt;/b&gt; in us and we in Him?

&lt;b&gt;Can we do it&lt;/b&gt;:
1. By accepting Him as our &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.inreach.com/bstanley/saved.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;our own personal Lord and Savior &lt;/a&gt;? 
No. Where does the Bible say that?

2. By the grace of GOD only? &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.inreach.com/bstanley/works.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sola Gracias&lt;/a&gt;? 
No. Where does the Bible say that?

3. By faith in GOD alone? &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.inreach.com/bstanley/works.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sola Fides&lt;/a&gt;? 
No. Where does the Bible say that?

It is simple &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.inreach.com/bstanley/common.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;common sense&lt;/a&gt; that since He commanded that we must do something, then doesn&#039;t it stand to reason that He would also tell us how to do it? 
 
Jesus was very clear in what we must do in order to have Him &lt;b&gt;ABIDE&lt;/b&gt; in us and we in Him.

Jesus left this command for us in &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.inreach.com/bstanley/john.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;John 6:53-57:&lt;/a&gt;

53 &lt;i&gt;&quot;Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you (the taken away branch)&lt;/i&gt;; 

54 &lt;i&gt;he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed&lt;/i&gt;. 

56 &lt;b&gt;HE WHO EATS MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD ABIDES IN ME, AND I IN HIM&lt;/b&gt;. 

57 &lt;i&gt;As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Whoever believes in me, as scripture says: &#039;Rivers of living water will flow from within him. (John 7: 38)</description>
