極大的奧秘 - 基督與教會

In Christ vs Abiding in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, it is he who bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing.

在基督裏 vs. 住在基督裏

哥林多後書5:17 因此，若有人在基督裡，他就是新造；舊事已過，看哪，都變成新的了。

約翰福音15:4    你們要住在我裡面，我也住在你們裡面。枝子若不住在葡萄樹上，自己就不能結果子，你們若不住在我裡面，也是這樣。
