In 1 John 4 is talks about the importance of loving one another as Christians. It also talks about some ways that shows God is living in us.
1 John 4:11-16 NLT
[11] Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. [12] No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. [13] And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. [14] Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. [15] All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. [16] We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
In this passage we see four things that show God is with us and living in us.
- If we love one another, God lives in us (v12)
- If we have His Spirit, He is in us (v13)
- If we declare Jesus is God’s Son, God lives in us (v15)
- If we live in love, God lives in us (v16)
This passage shows us how important it is to love one another and it shows us how important it is to believe in Jesus as God’s Son.
When we do these things, God lives in us by His Spirit.
