What does it mean to have God's Word abiding in you?

Answered in 1 source

Having God's Word abiding in you means possessing a relationship with Christ and believing in His message.

In John 5, Jesus accuses the Jews of not having God's Word abiding in them, implying a lack of true spiritual life and understanding. To have God's Word abide in someone signifies that Christ is present in the heart, producing genuine faith and belief in His message. This indwelling Word transforms a person, leading to a deep-seated belief that Jesus is both God and Savior. The evidence that God's Word abides in someone is the conviction and trust in Jesus for salvation, showing that one's faith is indeed grounded in the truth of Scripture.
