Show Notes

Question 1: I believe in Jesus and believe that I have received complete forgiveness of sins. I also believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in my heart. I know that a person who is saved is the temple of God. Whenever I fall and sin, the Holy Spirit convicts me, leads me to confess my sins, and forgives me, restoring my relationship with God. I have learned that if I do not do this, God will discipline me. So, Is it true that the Holy Spirit only dwells in us if we confess and receive forgiveness for our sins every time we sin?

Answer: Absolutely not. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit does not depend on how well or poorly a person does something. It does not depend on human will or intention. Then how is the true indwelling of the Holy Spirit accomplished? The Holy Spirit does not dwell in a person only when they confess and receive forgiveness of their sins every time they sin, but rather, when they believe in the gospel of water and the Spirit and receive the removal of all sins once and for all, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in them. The Holy Spirit cannot dwell in the hearts of those who have even the smallest amount of sin in their hearts.
