John 14:15-18
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
We who love God obey Him out of love and honor in return. He has even given His own Spirit to live in us forever, the same Spirit who moved on the face of the waters at creation and was around the disciples before being in them after Jesus arose at Pentecost. We are His children, never orphaned and never alone. The world around us cannot see or know Him unless we tell them and God opens their eyes; so we are driven by Him to them - as He commands and out of love.
