Permanent Presence

‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’ Haggai 2:5

In a covenant with God, within the New Testament, there's guarantee of God's permanent presence within us while we believe in His Word and practice it.

React

"Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine." Exodus 19:5

The promises of God are for those who hear and practice His Words. That is, those who react to His covenant.

Covenant

"And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you." Genesis 17:7 

This everlasting covenant made for Abraham can only have an affect in the life of those who believe in the Lord Jesus and truly act on their belief. That is, they obey the Word of God.

Being One

"That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.." John 17:21

From the first day of a person's new birth, the child of God becomes one with God. He acquires His character, thinks like Him, and desires what He desires. Thus the reason his sole purpose is to save souls.

Thirsty

"O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water." Psalms 63:1

Just like the dry land is eager for water, a prisioner for freedom,and the blind for light, the soul needs to be in relation to God. Jesus can only save those who are lost.

Strengthened

"...that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man..." Ephesians 3:16
The action of the Holy Spirit strengthens the faith, making it useful for the Work of God. In fact, it makes those who serve and perform God's will stronger.
