To abide/remain in Christ (John 15) reminds me of what Jesus said in
Matt. 6:33, "Seek first the kingdom of heaven."  So much of what Jesus
taught during His earthly ministry was regarding the kingdom.  I think
we could say the kingdom was His passion (which certainly included
bringing glory & complete allegiance to God - the King).  As we abide/
remain in Christ Jesus, our consuming passion(s) should be to "hallow
the Father's name" and that the whole world will come to know Him!
