What are the living realities of this, when God is with a person, and IN them?
One issue arising from this is the tendency (like gravity) to simply be unbelieving toward this promise of our Lord Jesus ; that is, to live as though He wasn’t with you, and IN you.

We often live as though we “barely” believe it to be true.
The lives of many are testimony that it is not true for them (that God is not with them).
When people are “searching” in the religious maze, the religious mall, it indicates that they don’t believe God is with them.
In fact, the system today can only function on the basis of such spiritual poverty and blindness, bcos it exists to fill a void in people’s lives. It’s presented more as a drug than a new creation.
Jesus never intended that for His Church – His people. His will and intention is that ALL be presented fully mature in Christ Jesus, lacking nothing ; not deficient in the knowledge of Him.

On the same topic as I first wrote concerning in your “Offline for a Few Days” blog: should the Christian share the gospel even as Jesus preached repentance (following His pattern in all things); for “Christ in you” is as Jesus was while on earth, true?

2Tim 4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead in accordance with His appearing and His kingdom:
2Tim 4:2 preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.
