GPP 29: God Indwelling

Among the treasures that Jesus imparts
To those that love Him and in Him believe—
God, the Holy Spirit, indwells their hearts.
Exposing Satan’s snares, meant to deceive!
Counselor and guide to the “born again”*,
His truths and advice unheard without;
Truer than a conscience is His refrain,
Steering this vain world with never a doubt!
He explains Scriptures, conveying them clear,
That children of God His message discern;
Without His aid, the Bible’s meanings veer,
For worldly minds spiritual language spurn!
The Spirit is God within Christ’s truster,
To counsel him how to righteous muster!

*”born again* = “new life” in Christ

Promise made: John 14:15-17 (Jesus speaking)
“ ‘If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth [the Holy Spirit of God]. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.’ “ [Brackets added]

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.’ “ (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
