In this episode of Living in Step with the Holy Spirit, Bruce Downes reflects on Romans 8:9–11 and the powerful truth that the Spirit of God dwells within us.Many people live the Christian life as though God is somewhere far away and they are trying to reach Him. We pray, serve, work hard, and try to grow in holiness, but often we forget that God has already drawn near.Through the Holy Spirit, God has made His home within us.Bruce reminds us that the Christian life is not simply about following Christ from a distance. It is about allowing the risen Lord, present within us by the Holy Spirit, to shape who we become.The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is present in believers today. The same Spirit who transformed frightened disciples into courageous witnesses continues to guide, strengthen, and lead the Church.Today’s invitation is simple: pause, become still, and grow in awareness of the Holy Spirit within you.
