and none of those are intended to be meant as prepositions, but intended as unity in Spirit.

Put another way...
Are you “inside” God?
Or is God “inside” you?

The Sovereign of the Universe inhabits men, but men do not inhabit the Sovereign of the universe.

I believe that some of those

DO

indicate

HE IS IN US AND WE ARE IN HIM.

NIV:

John 14:20 (New International Version)

20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

THE MESSAGE:

John 14:20 (The Message)

18-20”I will not leave you orphaned. I’m coming back. In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you’re going to see me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive. At that moment you will know absolutely that I’m in my Father, and you’re in me, and I’m in you.

John 14:20 (Amplified Bible)

20At that time [when that day comes] you will know [for yourselves] that I am in My Father, and you [are] in Me, and I [am] in you.

YOUNG’S LITERAL TRANSLATION

John 14:20 (Young’s Literal Translation)

20in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you;


I’ll choose to accept the wording just as it reads, to me. Christ said it. I believe it. It’s that simple, to me.

Sounds like a mystical truth that is exceedingly true because Christ said it whether I can wrap my carnal understanding around it to your or anyone else’s satisfaction or not.
