Indwelling

Brothers and sisters: You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22)

That’s it in a nutshell.  Couldn’t have said it better.  “In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”  

God dwells in us.  Doesn’t make God seem so far away.  Closer than our doorstep.  Quite a different look than the perspective of God above us and in the heavens.  

Do we believe it?  A bit scary don't you think knowing that someone we dislike is a similar dwelling place.  Then again, that understanding might make us more tolerant and understanding of where the Holy Spirit resides.
