Secondly, by the spirit on Gods part, he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit, 1 Cor. 6.17.1 By which spirit it he knits and fastens us to Christ, Gal. 2.20.2 I live, as the soul in the body; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the son of God. And mark what the Apostle saith excellently to this purpose, Rom. 8.10, 11.3 Ye are not in the flesh, but in the ⟨p. 291⟩spirit because the spirit of God dwelleth in you, and verse 10. If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life for righteousness sake, and ver. 11. If the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies, because of his spirit that dwelleth in you. This is that seed of God, which whosoever hath abiding in him hath the power of sin quelled and subdued in him, 1 John 3.9.4 And unless ye be borne again by water, and the Holy Ghost, saith our Saviour, John 3.5.5 Ye cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
