Inhaltsangabe
This book delves into the profound significance of Christ's presence within us, as outlined in Romans 8:10. The author connects this concept with the Spirit's indwelling, leading to the idea that corruption still exists within believers due to indwelling sin. This corruption is not for condemnation but for the eventual eradication of sin's power. The book explores the ongoing conflict between the Spirit and the flesh within Christians, a struggle that will ultimately end in victory and the transformation of our mortal bodies. Drawing on both Biblical and historical perspectives, the author provides a comprehensive examination of the dynamic relationship between Christ, the Spirit, and the believer's sanctification. The insights presented in this book are invaluable for those seeking to understand the intricacies of Christian living and the transformative power of God's grace in overcoming sin.

Excerpt from Select Works of Thomas Chalmers, D.D. LL. D, Vol. 2
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
I have already affirmed, that to have Christ in us is tanta mount to the Spirit being in us. Christ dwells in us by the Holy Ghost. It is not because of this that the body is dead; but it is because of sin. The work of the Spirit in us does not counteract the temporal death of the body, however much it may counteract the second or eternal death to which the soul would have else been liable. It does not pour the elixir of immortality into the material frame - however much it may strengthen and prepare the imperishable Spirit for its immortal wellbeing. Still, after Christ has taken up His abode within us and hath made a temple of our body, it is a temple that is to be destroyed. There remaineth a virus in the fabric, that sooner or later will work its dissolution and as the law of tem poral death is still unrepealed, even in the case of those whom Christ hath redeemed from the curse of the law; and as, in harmony with this palpable fact, there is still the doctrine that sin lurks and-lingers in the moral system even after the renova tion which this Spirit hath given to it - this suggests a very important analogy, from the further prosecution of which we may perhaps gather, not a useless speculation, but a substantial and a practical benefit.
