A normal believer in Christ

This is the central focus of the universe and the center of the Bible, even the center of God’s plan – the processed and consummated Triune God coming into us to dwell in us as the Spirit in our spirit. This is the greatest miracle in the universe, and nothing else in the universe is more important than our spirit mingled with the Spirit as the consummation of the processed Triune God (Isa. 66:1-2; John 14:23; 15:4)! What can be more important than the Triune God being in us, living in us, and being everything to us as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit?

the Triune God dwells in us and is one with us

Saints, we should all be full of joy since the entire Triune God is indwelling us and is one with us! The Triune God as the Spirit is our life and our person, and He is making us His home (Eph. 3:14-17). If we see this, we will be super-excited – we will be happy Christians! Praise the Lord – the Triune God lives in us! God has been processed and consummated through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection, and now He is the Spirit coming into our spirit to be in us, live in us, and spread in our whole being! Lord Jesus, show us this glorious and wonderful fact!

the Spirit who dwells in us is the Triune God

We need to see this to the point of being impressed with this and having this as a vision governing us daily – the Spirit who dwells in us is the entire Triune God dwelling in us! This is seen clearly in Rom. 8, where Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of the resurrecting One – He is the all-inclusive Spirit! The Spirit is actually the ultimate consummation of the Triune God and the ultimate application of the Triune God to the believers! When the Triune God comes to us, He is the Spirit, and the Spirit brings the Triune God to us.

The Triune God is a mystery – we cannot understand with our limited human mind and understanding HOW CAN IT BE that God is One yet Three. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are One, co-existing (existing at the same time) and co-inhering (existing in one another). This is a mystery… But what we know from the Bible, especially from Romans 8, is that the Spirit who indwells us brings the entire Triune God into us! What we have in us is a mystery – the Spirit dwells in us, Christ the Son is in us, and God the Father is in us – the entire Triune God is in us, being made real to us and applied to us by and as the Spirit!

the Spirit makes the Triune God subjective to us

We have never seen God or touched Him physically, but we have seen and touched His creation. Also, the Bible tells us that God dwells in an unapproachable light (1 Tim. 6:16). In a similar way, we cannot and should not touch the electricity – we cannot see it, but we know it’s there. What makes the electricity real to us is its application to the many electrical appliances around the home, the lights, etc. What makes God real and subjective to us is the Spirit! The Spirit is the application, the reaching, of the Triune God to us! Praise the Lord, we can touch, experience, and enjoy the Triune God as the indwelling Spirit! Don’t you LOVE your mingled spirit?
