A LIFE IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD

1. You are in Christ because the Spirit dwells in you. Rom 8:9; 2 Cor 5:17
2. The evidence of conversion is the presence of the Holy Spirit within, witnessing that you are a child of God. Rom. 8:16
3. Your body becomes the very temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 6:19-20

III. A LIFE IN WHICH THE SPIRIT HAS YOU

1. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Life. Rom 8:1-4; Rom 8:16; John 16:13-15
