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. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 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.

The indwelling Spirit is life, life everlasting. It is God the Spirit who brings me into eternal relationship with God the Father and God the Son. It is God the Spirit who guides the transformation from the old man into a being fashioned in the image of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is God the Spirit who enables me to discern the will of God, the good and acceptable and perfect will of God for my life. It is God the Spirit who creates in me the power to live out that good and acceptable and perfect will. God the Spirit, my comforter and my guide. Hallelujah.
