- In today's video I'll answer your question, what is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?
- 00:05
- Then afterward, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end. The indwelling of the
- 00:18
- Holy Spirit is the action by which God takes up permanent residence in the body of a believer in Jesus Christ.
- 00:26
- In the Old Testament, the Spirit would come and go from the saints, empowering them for service, but not necessarily remaining with See Judges 15, verse 14.
- 00:37
- Jesus revealed to His disciples the new role the Spirit of Truth would play in their lives.
- 00:42
- He lives with you and will be in you. John 14, verse 17. The Apostle Paul wrote,
- 00:49
- Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God?
- 00:56
- You are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
- 01:02
- 1 Corinthians 6, verses 19–20. These verses are telling us that the believer in Jesus Christ has the third person of the
- 01:11
- Trinity, the Holy Spirit, living in him. When an individual accepts Christ as personal
- 01:16
- Savior, the Holy Spirit gives the believer the life of God, eternal life, which is really
- 01:22
- His very nature, and the Holy Spirit comes to live within him spiritually. The fact that the believer's body is likened to a temple where the
- 01:30
- Holy Spirit lives helps us to understand what the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is all about. The word temple is used to describe the
- 01:38
- Holy of Holies, the inner sanctum of the Old Testament tabernacle structure. There God's presence would appear in a cloud and meet the high priest who came once a year into the
- 01:48
- Holy of Holies. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest brought the blood of a slain animal and sprinkled it on the mercy seat of Ark of the
- 01:56
- Covenant. On this special day, God granted forgiveness to the priest and his people.
- 02:02
- Today there is no Jewish temple in Jerusalem, and the animal sacrifices have ceased.
- 02:08
- The believer in Christ has become the inner sanctum of God the Holy Spirit, as the believer has been sanctified and forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ.
- 02:17
- The believer in Christ becomes the habitation of the Holy Spirit of God. In fact,
- 02:23
- Scripture also says that the believer is indwelt spiritually by Christ, Colossians 1 .27,
- 02:29
- and by God the Father, 1 John 4 .15. The Trinity is involved.
- 02:35
- As the Holy Spirit lives in the believer, He brings about at least ten life -changing results.
- 02:41
- First, the indwelling Spirit comes to a soul dead in sin and creates new life.
- 02:47
- This is the birth Jesus spoke of in John 3, verses 1–8. Second, the indwelling
- 02:53
- Spirit confirms to the believer that he belongs to the Lord and is an heir of God and fellow -heir with Christ.
- 03:01
- Third, the indwelling Spirit installs the new believer as a member of Christ's universal Church. This is the baptism of the
- 03:08
- Spirit, according to 1 Corinthians 12, verse 13. Fourth, the indwelling Spirit gives spiritual gifts—God -given abilities for service—to the edify the
- 03:18
- Church and serve the Lord effectively for His glory. Fifth, the indwelling Spirit helps the believer understand and apply the
- 03:26
- Scripture to his daily life. Sixth, the indwelling Spirit enriches the believer's prayer life and intercedes for him in prayer.
- 03:34
- Seventh, the indwelling Holy Spirit empowers the yielded believer to live for Christ to do
- 03:40
- His will. The Spirit leads the believer in paths of righteousness. Eighth, the indwelling
- 03:45
- Spirit gives evidence of new life by producing the fruit of the Spirit in the believer's life.
- 03:51
- Ninth, the indwelling Spirit is grieved when the believer sins, and He convicts the believer to confess his sin to the
- 03:57
- Lord so that fellowship is restored. And lastly, tenth, the indwelling Spirit seals the believer unto the day of redemption so that the believer's arrival in the
- 04:07
- Lord's presence is guaranteed after this life. When you accept Christ as your Savior, the
- 04:12
- Holy Spirit takes up residence in your heart, bringing with Him an entirely new life of love, relationship, and service to the
- 04:21
