Wiersbe - “Abiding in Christ demands worship, meditation on God’s Word, prayer, sacrifice, and service—but what a joyful experience it is! Once you have begun to cultivate this deeper communion with Christ, you have no desire to return to the shallow life of the careless Christian.” – (The Bible Exposition Commentary, 335)
“Such a perspective will not produce a superficial, fairy tale-like “happily-ever-after” attitude but a deep sense of well-being and joy that their lives are united in the vine of Jesus and thus in his self-giving death and powerful resurrection.” – New American Commentary, 147
