Subject: The Heart, Spirit, and Wisdom
Summary:
Continuing with the definition of spirit, John Ritenbaugh explains that the preposition 'in'--as in the expressions 'in Christ,' 'in the church,' 'in you," or 'in the spirit'--refer not to literal physical dimensions, but instead our 'concern with' or 'involvement with' something. As being 'in love' or 'in the mood' require no physical location, or having family characteristics requires no family members dwelling literally in us, so Christ in us (Romans 8:10), His Spirit dwelling in us (Romans 8:11), or dwelling in the the body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:27) does not require a third person of the trinity but instead refers to absorbing God's characteristics through His Spirit, transmitted chiefly through life-giving words (John 6:63).
