Where does the Holy Spirit live now?
Where does the Holy Spirit live now?
There are two answers. First, He lives in the church, the corporate body of Christ. Paul asked the Corinthian believers:
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
Here, Paul was talking about the corporate temple of the Holy Spirit.
Second, in 1 Corinthians 6:19, Paul said something even more dramatic. He revealed that not only is the corporate body of Christ the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, but it is also God's purpose that the body of each believers also be the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
That is one of the most breathtaking statements found anywhere in the Bible! If we are believers in Jesus Christ, our physical bodies are to be the dwelling place of God the Holy Spirit.
