The one saying in Him to abide, is obligated just as that One walked also he is thus to walk (1 John 2:6).
If we have fellowship with Jesus, we share in common. We are partakers in both His death and resurrection. Since we have died with Christ, we are also raised to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4–5).
Jesus did the will of the Father, above His own. We, being in Christ, are obliged to follow the same path, not to prove or obtain righteousness, but because we are now righteous in Christ, taken out of the kingdom of darkness, and are now living out from dead ones (1 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 1:13; Ephesians 2:5; Romans 6:13).
