In our hearts through faith!
God lives in us!
The more we learn of Him and believe the more we EXPERIENCE HIM in our hearts!
that is sooo sick.
but most of the time we dont believe or we refuse to believe because what His word says because it is so contrary to our sinful nature! When in reality His Words are what bring us to life! Its LIVING!
It takes spiritual strength to be able to have the faith to accept hard truths!
thats why Paul prays:
16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
Eph 3:16-18
but when we do and we EXPERIENCE IT we are TRANSFORMED to be more holy and sin has less control in our lives as it says
3For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [[d]full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).
4By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.
2 Peter 1:3-4 Amp.
Our personal knowing or experience of Him is what sanctifies us.
Which can thus be translated to a law like
As faith increases
Christ also increases
now to exercise faith that changes takes sacrifice because in order for you to receive something in faith, you have to make room for it in your heart which means taking something out to make room!
