Summary
“So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’” (John 8:31–32 ESV)
To abide in Christ is to remain, continue, or stay in Christ. It means taking what we know about who God is, who we are in Christ, and what the Bible says, and using those things to grow in a permanent relationship with the Lord. It means trusting him for all things—trusting we are loved, trusting his word is true, and trusting in his promises.
Truly knowing and following Jesus means continuing to grow our relationship with him. It’s a relationship worth investing in because it is the one relationship that matters: a relationship with Jesus gives us eternal life, peace in this lifetime, and allows us to bear good fruit and do good works.
This week let's pray that our kids will know and abide with Christ their entire lives and commit to deepening their relationship with him every day.
Jesus, I pray that ____________ would abide in you. That they would remain in your love and choose that every day of their lives. May they read scripture and learn about you in a way that lasts. Help them to keep your truth in their mind so that they may choose your ways over the world’s ways, and let it sink into their heart so that they become more and more like you. Amen.

| 0:18.0 | Meaning like I loved a good sticker. |
| 0:20.0 | I'm an achiever. So like in first grade, if I had |
| 0:23.5 | done all my work and they gave me like a purple grapes sticker or strawberry or bubble gum, |
| 0:28.5 | I just would scratch and sniff all day long. It was like, breathe in the success, which is so |
| 0:35.1 | ridiculous. But I was thinking as I was looking that we've gone |
| 0:38.1 | 10 weeks, thank you very much, in this prayer journal. And we finished a whole section that we |
| 0:42.6 | deserve some stickers. That's going to be an idea. Hey, Christian parenting. Hey, Steph, next year when |
| 0:47.1 | we do this devotional and prayer journal, can we include some gold star stickers? I mean, we just, |
| 0:52.7 | I just love to check things off the list. |
| 0:55.3 | But if you haven't done all 10 weeks, that's cool too. Or you're just arriving. That's okay, too. |
| 0:59.8 | We are praying for our kids the entire school year. And it's about a prayer journal that is over at |
| 1:05.1 | Christian parenting that the team put together. And it's called a life of faith. Knowing, loving, |
| 1:09.5 | following, and sharing Jesus are the sections. |
| 1:11.8 | And this first section, we did it, guys. The no section, how our kids can know Jesus. |
| 1:18.6 | We just are finishing it today. I'm flipping to read. Okay, so it's how to abide in Christ, |
| 1:25.2 | which is a crucial part of knowing Jesus. So let me read one of the verses |
| 1:29.9 | that is shared in the journal today. I love it. John 8 31 through 32, it says, so Jesus said to the |
| 1:36.1 | Jews who had believed him, if you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will |
| 1:41.8 | know the truth and the truth will set you free. Oh, I love that so much. |
| 1:46.6 | So abide means to stay, remain, continue. That's a biblical definition, that we would just walk |
