Interpretation of the Bible / 1 John 4:15

This verse teaches us the importance of believing in Jesus as the Son of God. It is essential to confess our faith in Him and His divinity, which allows us to remain in God and God to remain in us.

Jesus is much more than just a man. He is the second person of the Trinity, which means God in human form. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can approach God except through Him. Therefore, confessing our faith in Jesus as the Son of God is vital to our salvation.

Moreover, confessing our faith also allows us to receive the Holy Spirit, who guides and strengthens us in our daily lives. This gives us the power to live a life that glorifies God in everything we do.

The blessing of having the presence of God Himself is the privilege of all who acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God. Again, this is not a mere intellectual confession, but an acknowledgment of one’s allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no closer relationship than man's being in God, and God in him.

It is difficult for us to visualize such a relationship, but we could compare it to a poker in a fire, a sponge in water, or a balloon in the air. In each case, the object is in the environment, and the environment is in the object.
