Dwelling, notes a special presence, and it notes a constant and permanent presence; and truly, such is the dwelling of the Spirit of God in the children of God; it is a gracious residence, and it is an abiding residence; he never leaves you. John 14. 16. I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
