1 Corinthians 6:17: “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.”
Galatians 2:20: “I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”
Romans 8:10: “But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness.”
Living by the Spirit’s mingling means experiencing the reality of being one spirit with the Lord (1 Cor. 6:17). The Spirit of God has been joined with our human spirit, creating a mingling that allows Christ to live in us and through us. This union is the essence of our Christian life and enables us to express Christ in all we do.
Galatians 2:20 emphasizes the practical outworking of this mingling. As we live by faith, the indwelling Christ becomes our life, replacing our natural living with His divine living. This is not a life of imitation but of organic expression, where Christ is fully expressed in us.
Romans 8:10 reveals that the Spirit’s mingling brings life to our being. Though our body is dead because of sin, our spirit is life because of righteousness. This life flows out to saturate our soul and eventually transform our entire being, making us vessels for God’s glory.
