That Great Day

1 John 4:16-17
“God is love. He that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as He is so are we in this world.”

“’He that dwells in love,’ means, in a sense, that God is that person’s home. My home is the place in which I dwell. I spend my time there. It is where I want to be. I go about my duty but there I dwell. My heart and mind are there. I come back as much as I can. I like to be there. I live there. They who dwell in love dwell in God. God is their home. God is where they like to be. It is with God they like to spend their time. And they arrange their lives as far as they can so that they spend a maximum amount of time there. In other words, their whole outlook upon life is God. Their thinking and meditation is controlled by God. It is all related to Him. They bring their minds back to Him. Just as I take my physical body back to the home in which I dwell, so Christians take their mind and heart back to God.”
