2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Chrisr, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Once when I baptized a young lady, she asked me, ”Who is inside me, Father, Son, or Holy Spirit?” I hadn’t heard that question before, but I answered, ”All three, for where one is there also are the other two, for all three are one God.” The Third Person of the Trinity is assigned the role of dwelling in us, but He is One God.
In this verse, He plainly states that we have the Father and the Son, and we know from elsewhere that the Father and the Son sent the Spirit. Voila! All three, as one. So who do we talk to? To which one do we listen? It doesn’t matter. We just know that the Spirit moves us to talk to the Father in the name of Jesus. We know that the Father said, ”Listen to My Son.” We know that the Spirit glorifies the Son. We know that the Son commanded us to pray, ”Our Father.” And we know that the Spirit intercedes for us.
Regardless of which of which one dwells within, God says,”Listen to Me;” God says, ”Talk to Me.” In this promise the Lord says, ”Abide in the doctrine of Christ.” This means: Hear the Gospel; Believe the Gospel; Remain in the Gospel. He who does so has this promise: both the Father and the Son are living inside him. God’s Life is in us, and it is eternal. Believe the Gospel and be one with God, forever.
