Jesus told his disciples that he would never leave them or forsake them. (Hebrews 13:5, KJV) We Christians should have faith that the comfort of the spirit abides in us. Ryrie (1997) states that "Today the Holy Spirit lives only in the being of Christians, and does so in all Christians" (p. 95). Furthermore, just as Paul had to remind the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 3:16, when he said, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (KJV), Christians today also need the reminder of this truth, which can then be found in the Word of God. The Bible tells us in Romans 8:34 that God is seated in heaven with his son Jesus seated at his right hand. Some Christians may lack the spiritual maturity they need to understand “No matter where we go, God is there by His Spirit: invisible, often imperceptible, but inescapable” (Price, D, p. 4, n.d.). Evidence of this can be seen in Psalm 139: “Where shall I go from your spirit? Or whither shall I flee from your presence?” (KJV). I conclude with the words of author Dick Iverson, who said, “The name of the Holy Spirit is paired with those of the Father and the Son” (1990, p. 3). The reference to this can be found
