Indwelling Christ Quotes

“We need to be impressed with these words in verse [2 Cor. 1:]9—“we should not base our confidence on ourselves but on God.” Through the redemption of Christ, the very God, who is in the heavens, has come into us, into our spirit (Col. 1:27; 2 Tim. 4:22). Thank the Lord that He is now in our spirit, calling us to forget about the soulish things and turn to our spirit to meet Him. We should no longer trust in our self, in our soul, but in God who is in our spirit.”
― Witness Lee, An Autobiography of a Person in Spirit

“Imprint thyself more deeply upon me, thou image of my King, thou, not I, shalt dwell in my soul, in my heart, in my countenance, on my lips, thou, not I, so long as I live, only thou!”
― Gertrud von le Fort, El velo de Verónica

“Paul preached the mystery of the indwelling Christ as 'Christ in you, the hope and the Glory.' Those who cannot, who will not, understand this mystery will remain babes in Christ, if that. They cannot follow in his footsteps to become bodhisattvas, world saviors and quickening spirits.”
