God never intended to be a distant divine Being AMY, worshipped only from afar. So now for us who believe in Christ, God is not just the Creator who dwells FAR AWAY IN HEAVEN. He’s also the life-giving Spirit who LIVES IN US. “Jesus said, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and WE WILL COME and MAKE OUR HOME with each of them.” (John 14:23) Now He’s available to us anytime AMY, anywhere as the solution to all our problems and the One who truly meets our needs. How? He is Omnipresent, He is everywhere at the same time…
OK look AMY, how could this be??? “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN and RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:1-3)
There are things that Jesus expect us to do AMY, “If you love Me, KEEP My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you ANOTHER HELPER, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth (the Holy Spirit), whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for HE DWELLS WITH YOU AND WILL BE IN YOU. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but YOU WILL SEE ME. BECAUSE I LIVE, YOU WILL LIVE ALSO.” (John 14:15-19)
