Our heavenly Father put on a human body and dwelt among His
creation. This human body that the Father dwelt in is called the Son of God. The
Father came and dwelt among us in His name Jesus, which is above every name.
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;" -
Philippians 2:10
Philip did not realize that Jesus is the Father revealed in
flesh.
"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" - John 14:9
Because Jesus came to give His life for us, He let His
disciples know that He would no longer be with them in the flesh, but would not
leave them comfortless – He would come to them in Spirit. (John 14:18). Jesus
would die, be buried, on the third day rise again, then after forty days would
ascend to heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:3-7, Acts 1:2-3). About a week later, Jesus
– our Heavenly Father – would then come to His disciples in Spirit, filling
them with His Holy Ghost. (Act 1:4-5, Acts 2:4).
"Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I
will come to you." - John 14:17-18 KJV
Jesus – our Heavenly Father robed in flesh – came in Spirit to
His disciples on the Day of Pentecost. He came filling them with His Holy Ghost.
(Ephesians 4:6).
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." -
Acts 2:4
The Spirit of God is called many things - the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Christ, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of
your Father, the Spirit. God is a Spirit. (John 4:24). He is our Father. His
name is Jesus. (John 5:43). He is One. (Deuteronomy 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:19).
When we are filled with the Holy Ghost, our Heavenly Father
is in us.
"For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which speaketh in you." - Matthew 10:20
When we are filled with His Spirit, and baptized in His name
Jesus, we become the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:27). The Bible then
calls us the sons of God. (John 1:12-13, Romans 8:14, Philippians 2:15, 1 John
3:1-2).
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God
and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." -
Ephesians 4:4-6
