I agree with this.
In a general sense, the spirit is our means to converse with that which we cannot see. Men thus have the ability to contact God in the Spirit, but also demons, spirits, and the dead. We have been warned not to use this ability to contact the latter.
Today Jesus is a life-giving spirit. We are spirit, or we have a spirit, so He can communicate with us thru His word, and when we hear His word, we receive life, the eternal life.
God has called us into the fellowship of His Son. Our fellowship is in the Spirit.
