Indwelling Life of Christ
Do you live in God’s power? – Ian Thomas

Indwelling Holy Spirit – Henri Nouwen
Without Pentecost the Christ-event—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—remains imprisoned in history as something to remember, think about and reflect on. The Spirit of Jesus comes to dwell within us, so that we can become living Christs [Christians] here and now.

God is with, for, and in us – Robert Baer
Bethlehem was God with us, Calvary was God for us, and Pentecost is God in us.

[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.
