INDWELLING SILENCE
In the quiet of the soul's enduring night, a weary mind seeks solace and light. The weight of sin is vastly a burden, yet hope emerges from past sins guerdon. But now the Cross, it is bound to last! Behold the rugged, splintered wood where love and sacrifice bind the past. Upon that hill, a Savior bled, His arms outstretched, redemption spread. I wept.
But now His Grace unfolds! From nail-pierced hands, forgiveness flows, a crimson tide that mercy knows. The veil torn wide, the chasm bridged, Salvation whispers to those who died. Grace cried out, the burden He knows, for the enemy of God, is forever closed. I wept.
But on Resurrection Morn! Three days of silence, darkness deep, then morning breaks, and angels weep. The tomb lies empty, death undone, for Christ arose—the victory won. His power released on sinners unknown, to free its captives with hearts of stone. I wept.
But now Eternal Hope springs forth! Now, in the quiet of our hearts and minds, we find salvation's sacred art redefined. His name is a refuge, strong and true. In Jesus' love, we're made anew. I wept.
But now His indwelling! Indwelt by Jesus, I am free, a vessel filled with eternity for all to see. He molds my heart, refines my clay, and shapes brokenness into a new display. His fingerprints upon my soul, a masterpiece of His indwelling bole. His love is eternal and lasting throughout time to redeem a sinner with His Heavenly chime. Today, His life is mine, a sacred art, a dwelling place within my heart. I rejoice! -PHINNEY
Salvation is the most crucial aspect of the indwelling Christian faith.
It is the gift of God’s grace that saves us from the penalty and power of sin and grants us eternal life and forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is the greatest expression of God’s love for mankind and the ultimate purpose of His plan for the world. Salvation is not based on our works or achievements but purely on God’s unmerited favor. Salvation is not an option but a necessity, and it is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and desire to be possessed by the Holy Spirit.
A Special Note: There is a major difference between a “following” Christian and that of an indwelt believer. Followers practice Jesus’s beliefs, while indwelt Christians house the Life of Christ within their souls - releasing His beliefs. The first is NOT authentically saved. The second is the real-deal Christian.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time” (2 Timothy 1:9).
