May 6 Morning Devotional | How To Dwell in God | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning, May 6 | “We dwell in him.” —1 John 4:13 (KJV)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: 1 John 4:11-15 (KJV)

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

Devotional Video Transcript:

Do you want a house for your soul? Do you ask, “How much does it cost?” It is something less than what proud human nature would like to give. It is without money and without price. Ah, you would like to pay a respectable rent! You would love to do something to win Christ? Then you cannot have the house, for it is without price.

Will you take my Master’s house on a lease for all eternity, with nothing to pay for it, nothing but the ground rent of loving and serving him forever? Will you take Jesus and “dwell in him?” See, this house is furnished with all you want, it is filled with riches more than you will spend as long as you live. Here you can have intimate communion with Christ and feast on his love; here are tables well-stocked with food for you to live on forever. In it, when weary, you can find rest with Jesus; and from it, you can look out and see heaven itself.

Will you have the house? If you are homeless, you will say, “I should like to have the house; but may I have it?” Yes; there is the key — the key is, “Come to Jesus.” “But,” you say, “I am too shabby for such a house.” Never mind; there are garments inside. If you feel guilty and condemned, come; and though the house is too good for you, Christ will make you good enough for the house by and by. He will wash you and cleanse you, and you will yet be able to sing, “We dwell in him.”

Believer: thrice happy are you to have such a dwelling place! Greatly privileged are you, for you have a “strong habitation” in which you are ever safe. And “dwelling in him,” you have not only a perfect and secure house but an everlasting one. When this world shall have melted like a dream, our house shall live, and stand more imperishable than marble, more solid than granite, self-existent as God, for it is God himself — “We dwell in him.”
