How God Indwells Us

God's will is to indwell us. He makes His home within us. Believers in Jesus Christ become the house of God. We are God's temple. The Holy Spirit indwells us. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God (1 Corinthians 6:19).

God's Spirit indwells all who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit indwells us to do God's will. He changes our hearts. He gives us new desires. God works in us according to His good pleasure. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). God is pleased with us, because the Holy Spirit is working in us.

The Holy Spirit indwells our hearts. That includes the mind, will, and emotions. He is doing more in us than we can understand. He is always doing more than we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). The Lord will use our lives to bring glory to His name. The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to do God's will.

Thank God today that the Holy Spirit indwells you. Rest in the assurance that He will never leave you nor forsake you (John 14:16). Rely upon God's ability to do more through you. Give God all the glory for what He does in you and through you. The Holy Spirit is in you, as a believer in Christ.
