VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Confess JESUS as SON of GOD

"Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God,"

1 John 4:2 (Amplified Bible)

4:2 By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source];

1 John 5:1 (Amplified Bible)

5:1 EVERYONE WHO believes (adheres to, trusts, and relies on the fact) that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah) is a born-again child of God; and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of Him (His offspring).

1 John 5:5 (Amplified Bible)

5:5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?

Matthew 10:32 (Amplified Bible)

10:32 Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me [out of a state of oneness with Me], I will also acknowledge him before My Father Who is in heaven and confess [that I am abiding in] him.

Confession of JESUS as SON of GOD is the key to dwelling in GOD's Presence.

B. GOD abides in me and I abide in GOD

"God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God"

1 John 4:12 (Amplified Bible)

4:12 No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!

1 John 3:24 (Amplified Bible)

3:24 All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.
