Abide

Abide “To rest in”
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: (Mone G # 3438) if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

The words “abide” and “rest” are closely tied together in the NT, you can rest assured if you abide in Jesus you will be on the path to righteousness and everlasting life.
Another important point to note is that Jesus Christ is our abode or resting place and we abide in Him 24/7. He has now become our Sabbath or abode-resting place every day. The words “abide”, “rest” and “Sabbath” are closely tied together in NT theology.

The concept of God "tabernacling" among His people is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, as seen in the Tabernacle of Moses, where God's Shekinah glory was believed to dwell.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Sabbath is rooted in the creation narrative found in Genesis 2:2-3, where God rested on the seventh day.
