One of the greatest things about having God “in your life” is the fact that the person of God the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you. His address becomes the same as that of your spirit.
I suppose there are many things about our spirit that we don’t comprehend. One thing that sticks out to me about our spirit is that we place it last on the list of importance between spirit, soul and body. Whenever someone mentions the three, they list them in this sequence; body, soul and spirit. It is the last part of us that we think of.
Don’t we usually think about our body first when we are thinking about our person? God says that the most important part of us is our spirit. I believe we need to quit putting our spirit down and encourage it to grow.
Our body won’t last as long as our spirit. When our time comes and we leave this life and move on to the next, what part of us will move on? It won’t be our body. It will be our spirit. Our spirit and our soul is the real us. We will get a new body, but it will not be like this one at all. We should take care of this body, but don’t place it higher in importance than the real us.
Our spirit is our personal connection to God. God is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of God. He is the one that comes to live in us when we accept God’s offer to apply the payment that Jesus made to our own account.
The thing about Him coming to reside with our spirit in us is just incredible. We can now link up with His power to live how we should. We can now rest in the knowledge that God in us, the Holy Spirit will counsel us, reminding us of the right way to live and warning us of danger in the wrong way we live.
