When God makes His home in us, He gets busy immediately. He becomes to us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. And He begins to train us to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives that honor Him.

God in us means that He lives His miraculous life in and through us - our circumstances, our choices, and our personalities. His abundant life is more than sufficient for every situation we will ever face.

God making His home in us forges a deep, spiritual union that goes beyond the idea of God with us. It’s a shared existence where we can experience our unity with Christ through the daily reality of His presence in us.

When God pledged to be our Immanuel, He promised to redeem and restore us, no matter what we’ve done. To be with us, no matter the enemies and struggles we might face. To be our sufficiency.

God’s New Covenant was revealed in stages, with hints and glimpses scattered throughout the Old Testament. Its complete fulfillment was in our Lord Jesus Christ, Who was more than God with us – He was God in us.

The angel revealed to Mary and Joseph much about Who Jesus is and what He will do. As son of the Most High, He will reign forever as king. And as Messiah, He will save His people from their sins.

Warrior. Shepherd. Leader. Man of deep faith in God. All these, and more, describe Joshua, a stunning type of the ultimate Yeshua, the Lord Jesus Christ.

We may wander and stray, but the heart of El Shaddai toward us never changes. When we choose to live face to face with Him, He promises to make us complete and to supply all our needs, so that we lack nothing.
