We have the words of King Solomon at the dedication of the temple referring what was in the heart of his father. "And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of theLordGod of Israel."(1 Ki.8:17) This psalm references it in vv.1-5 not in context of David but to the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, Christ who could genuinely claim, 'This is my rest forever.'
Here below we have a passage from Apostle Peter explaining the outpouring the Holy Spirit. "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day./...He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,/ that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption./This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses./Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear." (Ac.2;29-33)
The outpouring of the Spirit served as a place of rest so one may boldly claim his heart as a tabernacle for worshiping God in Spirit and truth. Christ thus finds home in us by faith and by no other means. St Paul's prayer also makes it clear, "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;/That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;/ that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (Ep.3:16-20).
Power working in us reconciles two natures of Father and the Son in our soul. Holiness of God the Father and obedience of the Son are two sides of the Word as a sign and sound. Soul finds rest when man has faith and works. As Christ was in the world so we shall be be. Our soul would not be left in hell. Without witnessing to soul where abiding in Christ produces fruits we trivialize faith.
