The Lord professeth; This is my resting place, here will I dwell for ever. Therefore the faithful are said to receive Christ. As ye have received Christ, so walk in him. Christ is said to be in them. 2. Cor. 13.5. Know ye not that Christ is in you, unless ye be reprobates? To dwell in them. Eph. 3.17. To live in them. Gal. 2.20. Yea they live not, but Christ only.
