The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
By Jesse Jenkins
Benchley, May 4, 2008

  • The New Testament says the Holy Spirit dwells in the Christian. II Timothy 1:14
  • So it is not a question of whether but of how.
  • Is it literal and personal, or is it representatively through His revealed Word?
  • Deity dwells in the Christian.
    • The Father – II Corinthians 6:16; I John 4:12
    • Christ – Ephesians 3:17
    • The Holy Spirit – II Timothy 1:14
    • What is the meaning of Deity dwelling in the Christian?
    • No one thinks that the Father and Christ dwells in us personally.
  • Definition of two words:
    • “In” means “in union with” – John 17:21
    • “Dwell” means that the Word controls one’s life – Revelation 2:13; Colossians 3:16
  • Things that equal the same thing equal each other (transitive property).
    • John 1:7 – walk in light = fellowship with God
    • Walking in light = Holy Spirit dwelling in one
    • Therefore, Holy Spirit dwelling in one = fellowship with God.
  • Summary
    • Colossians 3:17 – Deity dwells in the Christian by faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word. Romans 10:17
    • Every influence ascribed to the Holy Spirit is also ascribed to the Word.
Holy Spirit Word
John 3:3,5 Born I Peter 1:22
John 16:7,8 Convicts Titus 1:9
Acts 9:31 Comforts I Thessalonians 4:18
Titus 3:5 Saves James 1:21
II Timothy 1:14 Indwells Colossians 3:16
  • Let the Word control your life and the Holy Spirit will dwell in you.
