Holy Spirit, Gift of

At last I realized that Jesus Christ was actually and literally within me, not a figure of speech. Even more, He constituted Himself my very life, taking me into union with Himself - my body, mind and spirit. While I still had my own identity and free will... it meant that I need never ask Him to help me as though He were one and I another; but rather simply to do His work, His will, in me and through me. Finally, there is the quiet act of faith, apart from any feeling or immediate evidence, that God does set the trusting soul wholly free from the law of sin.
