This word is generally used of what dwells in us, not of our dwelling in Christ. Indwelling is both absolute and conditional. The Holy Ghost always dwells in every believer (Rom. 8:9-11, &c.). Christ as our rife also dwells always within us (Rom. 8:10). But Christ and the Father, as the enjoyed object of our hearts, only dwell in them by faith and as we keep His words (Eph. 3:17; John 14:23). The indwelling of the Holy Ghost is not the same as the new life in us, they are distinguished (Rom 8:16).
