Divine Indwelling
God lives in us....
1 John 4:12 NIV
The start, middle, and end of the spiritual journey is the
conviction that God is always present. As we progress
in this journey, we perceive God's presence more and
more. As we emerge from childhood into full, reflective
self-consciousness, our concept of how God is present
in us is usually vague and primitive. The spiritual journey
is a gradual process of enlarging our emotional,
mental, and physical relationship with the divine reality
that is present in us but not ordinarily accessible
to our emotions or concepts.... The fundamental theological
principle of the spiritual journey is the Divine
Indwelling. The Trinity is present within us as the
source of our being on every level. (FG, 2-3)
1 John 4:12 NIV
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another,
God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
