Could you elaborate more on what you say about “be God in you”?

To: Cronos
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

2 Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. [This harkens to the passage in John 14 where Jesus gives Philip a Physics lesson regarding being in the Father and The Father in Him.]

Hebrews 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. [The function of Christ in you for the Christian life.]

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [The transformation of a sinner into the image of God's Son is a work of God's doing, by the Holy Spirit within working His character out through your soul, your behavior mechanism. It is by this that we may know a man is born again, because the character of God begins to show through the soul of a man.]

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [Again, we are to be 'in Him' and He 'in us', in like manner as Jesus taught Philip in John 14.]
