| | | | If You Abide in my Word, You Are Truly My Disciples by John Piper
Topic: Assurance
Scripture(s): John 8:31 | | Description: Jesus' statement in John 8:31 is loaded with significance: "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples." This is huge, even before we get to the well-known verse 32 that follows ("and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.") At least these five questions call for answering: 1) What does it mean to truly be Jesus disciples? 2) What is Jesus referring to by the phrase my word? 3) What does it mean to be in that word? 4) What does it mean to abide there? 5) Whats the relationship between abiding in his word and truly being his disciple?
