The Shelter of the Most High

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalms 91:1)
I wish to emphasize for a moment the idea of “dwelling.”
The Lord informed us that if we are to bear the fruit of the image of Christ we will have to abide, or dwell, in Him. This is in contrast to the current concept of “accepting Christ,” which is used as a sort of religious “ticket” that we can employ to enter Heaven when we die.
I believe the New Testament would inform us that it is Christ who has to accept us, and this on a continuing basis, not just on one occasion.
There are three terms found in the Gospel John that stress dwelling in Christ and the Father and Christ and the Father dwelling in us. They are: rooms; home; and remain. These three words express a common idea. The idea is that of a place in which to live.
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? (John 14:2)
A place for us to live in Christ, who Himself is the Father’s House.
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. (John 14:23)
A place in us for the Father and Christ to live in.
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. (John 15:4)
A place for us to live in Christ and He to live in us.
