Who Dwells In You

Romans 8:9-11 (ESV Strong's)

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.


Within each believer there is the tension between the light of God and the darkness of man. It is the work of the Spirit to separate the two and let the truth of the light prevail. Faith in the Lord will enable us to overcome the world and the shadow of death. The Spirit will raise us up in the life of Christ and our flesh will be transformed into the redeemed flesh of Jesus Christ. 


The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ is the same Spirit who dwells in us. We are one.
