Jesus the Christ spoke about His abiding in us. For the True Believer, it is not an exaggeration to claim that Christ lives in their heart by Faith. This is a statement that the Lord Jesus Christ made whilst He was physically on this Earth that still has meaning today. It is a Teaching that also continued in the Epistles. This is not just a "mystical belief" - it is a reality, Christ's indwelling of our lives by the Holy Spirit. The indwelling Christ gives Assurance and Faith that enables His Followers to live out their lives as True Believers. The indwelling Christ gives us confidence to Pray. The indwelling Christ can fulfill His Promise to us by keeping us filled with the Holy Spirit.
We do not hear much about 'abiding' from the pulpit in these days, but it was very much a Teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. A Teaching that was meant to prepare His Disciples for life after His Ascension.
For the True Believer, Christ abides in them and they abide in Christ.
