*          Note the similarity of this visual representation of the immaterial man, the real man, the image of God man, with the God of the Bible Chart.  Then note the Biblical Concept: Divine Dwelling. 

                At the point eternal salvation, the Holy Spirit permanently indwells the human’s inner man, resuscitating the dead spirit. Compare Ephesians 2:1-5 with 1 Corinthians 2:10-14.  It would appear, then, that the Holy Spirit indwells with an emphasis on the human’s spirit. Romans 8:16 says; “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God”

                Of Jesus Christ,  Ephesians 3:17 says: “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love.”  It would appear that the Lord Jesus Christ makes His abode (John 14:23) with a focus on the heart of the believer? 

                By a process of elimination, (Note this statement in Psalm 54:4: “Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.” Also, note 1 Thessalonians 5:23.) perhaps the Father’s abode in the Believer has an emphasis on the soul?
