I'm starting this thread in reply to something Nick said in another thread about the Holy Spirit. Nick's view on this subject isn't a surprise to me since he's mentioned it before, but I thought maybe we could all discuss it a bit.
This is what I'd like to talk about:
So, I think this can be found in scripture, and some good places to start are probably:
1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
1 John 4:13-16 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Romans 8:15-17 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God
