He’s In Us
Have you ever remembered a passage from scripture, not knowing the exact verse numbers? I had this happen not too long ago. I was reading this post on a message board involving universalism (Jesus=Mohammed=Confucious,etc.) which mentioned seeking a human form of God for guidance. When reading it, I immediately thought of the many times the Bible mentions God and his Son dwelling in us in spirit, but couldn’t remember any verse numbers.
When I searched for a passage, I got a lot more than I expected. It can make a believer realize (again) that we are not alone.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
– 1 John 4:15 (KJV)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
– John 6:56 (NIV)
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
– 1 John 4:12 (KJV)
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you…
– Romans 8:9 (KJV)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
– 1 Corinthians 3:16 (KJV)
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
– 1 Corinthians 6:16 (KJV)
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
– 1 John 4:16 (KJV)
But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
– 1 John 3:17 (KJV)
Him and his son are inside of me, and–if you believe, you too. It’s something to think about, isn’t it?
