Not long after the Lord Jesus said in John 14 that He was sending the Comforter He proceeds to speak something altogether marveleous.
John 14:23
" Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me he will keep My word and My Father will love him, and WE will come to him and make an abode with him"
JOhn 14:26
" But when the Comforter comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of reality, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning ME"
The greek word" From" as in from the Father has the sense of " from with"
These two verses together in John are very precious. They show that the Father and Son are making an abode with us.. We know that our bodies is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.. and that the Spirit indwells us.
Share something on these verses put forward and how you see this matter.
Share any verses to strengthen your input.

You have introduced a subject that dates all the way back to the fall of Adam and Eve. In the Garden, GOD walked with man every day.. HE was with us.. when sin came into man's life, GOD could not look at man face to face, because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS would destroy Adam and Eve. so, HE found another way, and that was the SHEKINA GLORY..read about it in Genesis, it looked like a flaming sword that the angel had with him. from that point on thru history GOD has always wanted to have a way to actually be with us..from there we have the Arc oF GOD. we have seen a movie about it...and then we have JESUS, the MAN OF GOD. This was the most marvelous miracle ever witnessed by GOD'S creation, that GOD WOULD BECOME A MAN AND DWELL WITH US...IMMANUEL..GOD WITH US.. so you see, GOD has been with us from the beginning and it was our sin that seprated us.. and it will be GOD that brings us together again..read in Revelation where the declaration is made that GOD is with man again.. great question

Christ also said-If you build your treasure in the world, you will come back to the world;if you build it in heaven, you go back to heaven. If you are attached to the Father, you go back to the Father.
If your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of Light.
We have to open this eye and see the Light. With the help of that Light, we have to find the way back to God. Tht Light comes from the radiance of His Spiritual body.
Isn t this wonderful?
God bless u sis!

GO TO THE BEGINNING...and God said said let us(plural) make man in our image...the trinity creating man in his image... that is man is also a triune being... body, soul and spirit..... when want to go to a place, you first think, desire and that's how you go there.... you are present body, soul and spirit.... the same with the Lord... We have the the trinity with us(God with us-Emmanuel-), in us(God in us-Immanuel), for us....

Thank our Trinity God for sending His Holy Spirit to us, that we may be encouraged, have hope and the understanding of His Holy Word.
Amen!

According to me this world is created by God and God lives in every atom of this earth so there is no difference between God and world. We have to train our mind to manifest God in everything. Har mein Hari ko dekho. Each of His creation has significance and meaningful contribution to this world. Even thorny bushes have medicinal value only we ve to gain knowledge about that. God is already within each one of us and we have to manifest Him within thru silence. God will make His presence felt wherever u call Him with love and longing.
