Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham

Years ago, I heard the story of a child who had gotten saved, and his father told him that according to Ephesians 3:17, Jesus lived in him. Amazed, then he looked in the mirror and asked, “How does he fit? He must be sticking out somewhere!”

At the very moment of your salvation, God Himself came to live within you. The Bible says that, “…your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you…”. The body of the believer becomes the place where God dwells, and the implication is our lives are sanctified for His use.

In every way we are affected by this nearness of God. It affects how we think and feel. Instead of growing fearful, we can be courageous knowing He is near. Instead of dwelling on the failures of the past, we can instead think about the opportunities that lie before us. You see, the presence of God’s Spirit in our life transforms us from the inside out.
