“If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.  The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son” (1 joh 5:9-10). God in His Scriptures has made it very clear that Jesus abides in you because of your faith in Him and not by your own effort.
