Every one who believes in Christ and rests on His work, shares the blessings of the Comforter now given and abiding. A person is not a Christian unless he is the temple of the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost is not known as an object (though He distributes to every one severally as He will), but He is in us—living spiritual power in us. Christ does not dwell so in us. Christ was with the disciples three years, and then went away from them; but the Holy Ghost never goes away, and is promised to be in them "a well of water," etc. The effect of the Holy Ghost's power is to bring Christ back to us-not in person, as an object, but Christ becoming, by the power of the Holy Ghost, life in me. "To me to live is Christ," etc. Christ Himself is He whom the Holy Ghost shows unto me. There is a blessed living object in Christ which I do not find in the Holy Ghost. They could not say of Him, "We have handled Him," as of Christ.
