We Abide - 1 John 4:13-16

1 John 4:13-16 ESV 

By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

His Spirit is the way of abiding in God, the only way. The only way we can have access to God is for Him to make a way. He has done that through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus remains with us by the Holy Spirit given to us when we confess the Son. He is with us. 

We understand His love and life to be with us. We abide in the house of God. He tabernacles with His people.
