Now he who
keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that
He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.- 1
John 3.24
How do we know that God
lives in us?
We accept it by faith, but
we know that sometimes our faith can be weak. Sometimes we mess up and we
condemn ourselves as not being good enough.
We can know that we know
because of His Holy Spirit that dwells in us. He is our comforter and our
assurer. We can know because He is the down payment of our eternal salvation. We
know because everyone who is saved has the Holy Spirit. We know because He has
sealed us for the day of salvation.
The Holy Spirit brings that
voice of comfort when we are troubled. He is the One who attests to our heart
that we are abiding in Christ. He does it through His word and sometimes
through His still small voice within.
God’s Spirit testifies with us
that we are the sons of God. We are His and He will comfort us with that truth.
