As a believer, you have the life of Christ in you. When you receive Jesus Christ by faith, you have new life within you, the life of Christ. You can sincerely say, "Christ lives in me."
How does Christ live in you? He lives within you through the Holy Spirit, also known as the Spirit of Christ. His presence is experienced through faith, hope, and love. These are the three abiding gifts of the Holy Spirit. Faith is born within your heart to trust Christ as your living Lord and Savior. Hope is given for you to trust Christ with your future. Most importantly, the love of Christ is within you, everlasting, unconditional love.
How can you know Christ is in you? You have a living faith which is your assurance of things not seen. Your faith is in Christ, and Christ is in you by faith. You have a hope that the world didn't give you, and the world can't take it away. It's an eternal hope in Christ. You experience the love of Christ bringing peace and joy. Christ in you is faith, hope, and love.
"It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
