The nature of Christianity is quite unlike every other religion in several ways. One of these significant differences, one of the genuinely unique ones at that, is that Christian believe that Christ Jesus is living within them. And this phrase is not semantic and it is most certainly not a hypothetical proposition. No. One of the primary teachings of Christ is that upon His death and resurrection, He has sent His Self–His Holy Spirit–to live inside of them.
This 'living inside' means, among many things, that the Spirit of God is residing within the believer guiding, compelling, leading, encouraging, strengthening, empowering, convicting, sanctifying, and bringing them to deeper levels of grace and praise and worship.
Permit be to be quite direct: we want this. We want more of Him in us.
This is our prayer, this is our purpose.
Amen.
