Question:
How does Christ dwell in our hearts?

Answer:
“By His Spirit in the inner man” (verse 16). The Spirit of God is the one Who makes Christ precious to us, and keeps our hearts taken up with Christ. The Lord tells us: “”However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you” (John 16:13, 14).

Christianity is Christ within us, controlling us; being constantly aware of His presence and dwelling within our hearts. He is constantly in our hearts, but He should constantly be precious to us, and we should constantly talk to Him about every detail of our life. We should allow the Lord’s life to be lived in us: this is Christianity.
