Thank you for your comments. I think that we are in agreement with the word of God. God dwells in us through His word. And the way that God dwells in us through the word is as we obey the word of God. Without obedience to God’s word, how could anyone possibly think that God is dwelling in them? Thank you sir and God bless.

Do not be deceived, surely He dwells in the shroud of our hearts. How is it that we hear His voice? How do we listen in our hearts? What is the physical nature of us hearing Him? Let it be known, all must know His voice to know Him, otherwise they are lost. https://www.larl.info/post/the-spirit-body-connection

For me I can say this If bible says God lives in us and the spirit of God Lives in us its the word of God give to understanding psalms 119:130.
So his spirit is the word of God, Jesus said the word I say to you is a spirit and life so in the word

Keep up so thay we may not get lost in this world, God keep bless you with wisdom of understanding and knowing the mysteries of Kingdom of God

Hello Abdul. Thanks for your question. In 1 John chapter 4, the subject is love. God’s love for us, and our love for Him and our love for one another. As you probably know, we are told in verse 16.. “God is love”. And the meaning is that God is the epitome of love; He is the greatest example of love. That’s why verse 12 says that if we love one another, then God, who is the very essence of love, “abides in us”. The word “lives” (as in “God lives in us”) is a poor translation. The meaning is “to abide, and to remain”. The verse isn’t saying that God Himself is in us, but rather, that if we love one another, then that very same love which is God’s essence, is abiding in us. I hope this helps. Thanks again for visiting our site.

And in other verses it says the spirit of God lives in us??

For sure, i am not disturbed by any of what you wrote. Since the day I accepted Christ (fifty years) as the “it” I was looking for, I know He is with me. I am too metaphysical with this and so I will simply accept that He is with me…whether or not He is in, around, with, holding, uplifting, filling ….etc…I just accept He is all I want. I know He accepts me, for I trust Him alone, not of my works… But I do “deeds” as a natural part of who I am. The more I have studied His word, the more I want of Him. Again thanks

Thank you so much Patty. It’s so encouraging to hear form people like yourself who appreciate the word of God. And you of course are correct, that many will not accept the plain words of scripture, because they have been taught differently for so long. A saying that seems to always hold true is this.. It’s easier to believe a lie that you’ve heard 100 times, than to believe the truth that you’ve heard only once. May God bless you richly in your study of His word. PS.. Please re-read the part of the article concerning the “promise of the holy Spirit”. I have made some additional comments that you might find interesting.

I’m so grateful to you for sharing this completely logical explanation with scripture references. I don’t think your views will be widely accepted in the church because we have been taught otherwise for so long. But please don’t be discouraged— open the eyes of Christians to these simple truths and take the mystery away about the “holy” spirit.

True God gives Holy Spirit to those who obey him. An evidence that we have Holy Spirit in us is that we are showing
the Fruitage of the Spirit which there is nine of them in our new personality that we have put on .I also appreciate
that you made it clear that The Almighty and Jesus do not literally dwell in or bodies ,and that trough obedience the Holy Spirit will never leave us.

Hello, and thank you for visiting the website, and most especially for your comments. Actually, when God breathed the “breath of life” into man, He was giving man a spirit which brought life to the body that had just been created. God did not “breathe” a part of Himself into man. God simply gave man an everlasting spirit. And so then, NO, God is not inside each one of us. Would you like to share with us whatever scripture there might be that makes you think that the Spirit of God must be “activated” within us? To my knowledge, there is no such scripture. But life is a learning experience, if you would like to share your thoughts. Thanks again for your Comments. I hope to hear from you again soon.

This breath of life is the essence of God that He shared with man, His Spirit. All mankind has the Spirit of God on the inside of us. We have to decide to “activate” the Holy Spirit.
As we are still & spending time in the Word letting the Holy Spirit teach us, the level of activation is determined. God’s children, all of mankind, must partner with the Holy Spirit to become like the Great example, Jesus Christ.
Thank you so for the article. 🙏🏾

Thank you for reading the article. I hope that you will read other articles as well, to learn more of God’s word. Do you still have questions about the Holy Spirit, or any other bible subject? I would be happy to study with you. Thanks again, and God bless.

Have been told that it is through the word but not how. Thanks for helping me understand.
