Verse 6
The apostle adds, "In you all." One God and Father in us all; that is, His abode in us. "Through all," expresses the thought that He is every where in us all; He dwells there; He is there in His power, identifying Himself with His own. Spiritually He is in us, and as Ruler He is every where. They who are partakers of this oneness, are united to Christ as Christ is to the Father; thus the Father is in us all (ex. John 14:14). What a bond in this new creation! God Himself dwelling in us, in a body of weakness and of death! This is why we groan, being of the present creation, while at the same time we have the first fruits of the Spirit; we groan according to God, not only because of the misery which we feel as men, but according to God who will very soon deliver this world.
