Yes. The content of the scriptures also affirm that.

It was God's desire, from the beginning, to inhabit man, the crown of
His creation: "...and you shall RECEIVE the gift of the holy spirit."

"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead
DWELL in you..."

If Paul was saying that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, then I'm guessing that would place God in Christ, and your answer is yes. Whew! Sure took a minute to get there.

Some people just misconstrue the scriptures.

I had a friend from India that read this verse: "Be careful for
nothing...".
He then cried out, 'See Brother, even for nothing
we have to be careful!'

Got it?

Spoken like a true sycophant. I've misconstrued nothing.
