Matthew records these words of Jesus in 18:15-20, “ “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” NASB.
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are always among us Believers and we are instructed to employ His Word in our daily living. Why? Because Believers ARE of God, born again by His Son and His Spirit occupies our lives.
“This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” 1 John 3:24-25. (Please read the entire book of 1 John for contextual purposes, this will take you 15 minutes…)
Herein we find a reasonable cause and effective relationship with God, essentially abiding or dwelling with God. The reason God abides in us is that we are abiding in His love. Please remember that God is love.
By reading the Scriptures, Old and New Testaments one is equipped to understand the omnipresence of Creator God. He walked with and directed the Nation of Israel from Genesis 1:1 stating, “In the Beginning God…” This demonstrates the effectiveness of His Name and He cannot be affected by the human will.
In Hebrews 13:5b-7 we find that God says “ “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” so that we confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?” Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.” Again, context is most important and this statement is given strength from cc 11 and 12 covering the faithful folks who preceded us.
The 23rd Psalm speaks of God’s protection for His people if they traverse difficulty. He is the Great Shepherd.
The Savior is always present in every moment of every day, He NEVER is not present. From the moment of salvation that Jesus describes to Nicodemus in John 3:16 and then when He comes to dwell with us for eternity in the New Jerusalem we can rest assured of His presence,
Revelation 21:1-7 tells us, “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.”
Jesus is Lord.
