He has entered! He has entered!

GOD DWELLING IN US

---------------

Christians not only receive salvation, but even more, they receive God Himself, Christ Himself. Paul said that we were made alive together with Christ and that God freely gave Christ to us (Rom. 8:32). When we receive Christ as the Spirit into us, we are saved and our spirit is made alive. God has not only done great things for us, but even more, He has entered into us to live in us and to become our living salvation. This salvation is nothing other than grace, which is God Himself. From the time we were saved, the relationship between God and us is so subjective that God lives together with us.

the Salvation of Man's Tripartite Being

As I was singing this hymn, I thought verse 3 should be sung first because He seems to be outside knocking to come in. Yet in my experience, even after giving all, and thinking I have gained something, He still knocks on my heart. In Song of Songs 5:2, 4, He is knocking with His wounded hand. In Revelation 3:20, He also is knocking to find entrance. When I think I have something, and become settled, satisfied and passive, He knocks to come in. He knocks in love and reproof to show and give more of Himself.
