26. The Holy Spirit indwells even the carnal Christian (1 Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). xvi II. A.

27. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. Sound like an individual body?

28. Even Unbelievers talk of the Body as a Temple

29. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 19 Do you not know that your (pl.) body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you (pl.), whom you (pl.) have received from God?

48. What is the relationship of the anointing of the Spirit to indwelling?

49. The Anointing of the Spirit " Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come" (2 Cor. 1:21 NIV) Xvi H

50. The Anointing of the Spirit " But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth… 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him" (1 John 2:20, 27) Xvi H

51. Ryrie on the Anointing "The difference between the anointing and indwelling seems to lie in their distinct purposes. The indwelling brings the presence of God into the life of the believer. The anointing, as far as the believer is concerned, is that he might be taught (1 John 2:20, 27). Actually, this seems to be the only purpose specified in the believer's case. xvi H

52. Ryrie on the Anointing "However, if one may use the example of the anointing of Christ [Luke 4:18; Acts 4:27; 10:38; Heb. 1:9] and of Old Testament priests [Exod. 30:32-33; cf. kings 1 Sam. 10:1; Zech 4:14], then another purpose emerges—that of service. But…the full experience of the anointing depends on being filled with the Spirit" (Ryrie, The Holy Spirit, 73). xvi H

68. In Christ Alone Stuart Townend and Keith Getty

69. In Christ alone my hope is found; He is my light, my strength, my song; This cornerstone, this solid ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

70. What heights of love, what depths of peace, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My comforter, my all in all, Here in the love of Christ I stand.

71. In Christ alone, Who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save.

72. Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied; For every sin on Him was laid, Here in the death of Christ I live.

73. There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain; Then bursting forth in glorious day, Up from the grave He rose again!

74. And as He stands in victory, Sin's curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine, Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

75. No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the pow'r of Christ in me; From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.

76. No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand; Till He returns or calls me home Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
