Notes on this verse:

The divine indwelling is conditional on love, and obedience to Jesus’ words. The Word of the gospel is primarily (though not exclusively), in view here.

All throughout the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament, those who keep God’s commandments and have faith are blessed of God. Those who do not have faith and do not keep God’s commandments are cursed. There is no in between.

Abraham’s faith was counted unto him for righteousness. He loved God, and God blessed Abraham. This is the story throughout the Bible. God dwells in tabernacles not made with hands. God is a holy God and will not dwell where there is sin and disobedience.

Revelation 21:3 “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
