God In Us

Summary

The sermon presents a profound theological exploration of the Holy Spirit as fully God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and Son, emphasizing that His indwelling presence in believers is not a mere attribute or temporary empowerment but the permanent, abiding reality of the Triune God dwelling within the believer. It underscores that the Spirit's primary purposes are to reveal sin and the need for salvation, to sanctify by empowering believers to overcome the flesh through fellowship with Him, and to serve as the eternal guarantee of God's inheritance, securing the believer's perseverance to the end. Drawing from key passages in John, Romans, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians, the sermon affirms that the Spirit's work is essential for understanding Scripture, experiencing true conversion, and growing in holiness, all grounded in the finished work of Christ. The message is both convicting and comforting, calling believers to recognize the immense privilege of having the Almighty God reside within them, to walk in continual dependence on the Spirit, and to find hope and assurance in His unchanging presence, regardless of personal failure or spiritual dryness.
