Excellent sermon by John MacArthur on Abiding in Christ.
When someone asks you what it means to be a true Christian, do not say, "it's a personal relationship with Christ", because:
1. It's not biblical
2. Judas And Satan had a personal relationship with Christ. In fact, everyone has a personal relationship with Christ whether they know it or not, and they will be judged on a personal basis.
Rather, tell them that a Christian abides in Christ.
- He is our Shepherd and we are His sheep
- He is our Father and and we are His child
- He is our King and we are His subjects
- He is the Head and we are the body
Most beautifully, He abides in us and we abide in Him. That is something to proclaim!
