The Holy Spirit indwells every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38-39; Romans 8:9). He will never leave us nor forsake us (John 14:16-17). We are sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, at the coming of Christ (Ephesians 1:13, 4:30). God, who began a good work in us, will perform it until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:6; 2:13).
The Holy Spirit indwells all who confess Jesus Christ is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3). He works in us according to God's good will. The Holy Spirit changes our hearts (Romans 2:28-29). That's called regeneration or new birth. He gives us a renewed will with a desire to do God's will.
The Holy Spirit indwells us through the abiding gifts of faith, hope and love. "And now abide, faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13). We are saved by faith in Christ. We have hope in Christ for our glorification. We shall receive a glorified body like that of the risen Christ (1 John 3:2). We can never be separated from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39).
The Holy Spirit indwells the mind, will, and emotions of every believer. He is doing more in us than we understand. He is always doing more than we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). The Holy Spirit works in believers to bring glory to the name of the Lord. The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to minister to others and witness with power for Christ (Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 4:10-11).
