"The Spirit of God dwells in you." 1 Corinthians 3:16
The Spirit of God dwells in WHOM?
In every Christian. For "if any man has not the Spirit of Christ—he does not belong to Him."
Wherever the Spirit dwells—He works; and His work is the efficient cause of . . .
our salvation,
our sanctification,
our comfort, and
our usefulness.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of life—quickening and reviving us.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of light—instructing and illuminating us.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of liberty—delivering from bondage, dread and terror.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of love—shedding abroad the love of God in our hearts, and leading us to love Him and all His dear people.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of power—enabling us to conquer the world, overcome Satan, and crucify the old man with his deeds.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of prayer—teaching us how to pray, and making intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of peace—applying the atonement, giving us peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and producing in us a peaceable disposition.
He dwells in us as the Spirit of Christ—exalting Him in our minds, enthroning Him in our hearts, and glorifying Him in us and by us.
