This word is of gracious import. In reference to the sweet promises of God, as indwelling in his people, and they living by faith upon the gracious truth, nothing can be more delightful. "Lo, I come; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord." (Zechariah 2:10) And in one of the richest promises of the Bible, our blessed Lord Jesus speaks to the same effect: "If a man love me (saith Jesus,) he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (John 14:23) And the apostle Paul following the gracious words of his divine master, saith, that the whole spiritual building the church, is for "an habitation of God through the Spirit." (Ephesians 2:22)
