John 14:17, “The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”
The Spirit as reality is a profound aspect of the Christian life. The Spirit is not merely a doctrine or a concept but the very reality of Christ Himself. Everything Christ is—His life, light, truth, and grace—is made real to us through the Spirit.
When we live in the Spirit, we experience Christ as our reality in practical ways. The Spirit brings Christ’s presence into our daily lives, guiding us, strengthening us, and transforming us. By living in the Spirit, we are able to walk in truth, overcome the flesh, and experience the fullness of God’s life.
The Spirit as reality also means that Christ is no longer distant but near and accessible. Through the Spirit, we can enjoy Christ as our life supply, our peace, and our joy. The Spirit enables us to live a life that is genuinely Christ-centered.
