Christ declares, "Abide in me, and I in you. As a branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in me" ( John 15:4). A branch derives life from the
vine by virtue of its union with the vine. Similarly, Christ is the
vine, and we are the branches. There is a vital, organic union
between us. We draw on Christ's life through the Holy Spirit, who
dwells in us. We must, therefore, abide in Christ by cultivating
close and constant communion with him. We must continually look
"unto Jesus the author and finisher of faith" (Hebrews 12:2). The
present work seeks to explain what this looking implies. It does so
by turning to the writings of two largely forgotten Puritans and
Baptists from the seventeenth century - Thomas Wilcox and Vavasor
Powell. Together, they teach us that to abide in Christ is to
behold him in his manifold roles and relations. As we do so, Christ
becomes our all in all.
