Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

God's own Spirit takes up residence within the believer

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the teaching that God's Spirit dwells within believers, making them temples of God. Paul develops this in Romans 8 and tells the Corinthians that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Affirmed across Christian traditions, it expresses the conviction that God is not merely distant but present and active in the life of each believer.
