Now let’s
see some verses of the Scripture which show us that the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit dwell in us. |

● The Word teaches that God the Father dwells
in us |

said: “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John |
|
● The Word teaches that Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, dwells in us |
|
Jesus
said: “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the
vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:4-5).
Paul says to the Ephesians: “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith” (Ephesians 3:14-17). The same apostle says to the
Colossians: “To whom [the saints] God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians |

● The Word teaches that the Holy Spirit dwells
in us (bear in mind that He is called also the Spirit of God and Spirit of His
Son) |

Jesus
said: “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you” (John |
Brothers,
as you can see, these verses of the Scriptures show clearly that God and
Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwell in us. How can we understand all this?
We can’t, at the moment we can only accept this by faith. Oh, the depth of
the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His
works! |
