The Holy Spirit is not just "the Spirit of life", or even "the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead", he is also "the Spirit of Truth" who is always ready and willing to guide us into all truth. Sometimes our job is to get the heck out of the way and let him do the guiding.

I'm thinking about how language and its limitations are such an obstacle sometimes when trying to understand the divine and spiritual things. Even such a "simple" definition of the Trinity "One God in Three Persons" can mean so many different things to different people. So maybe I can try pointing out facts and verses and then we can think about how to explain.
For example, concerning our topic at hand....we know (or should know?) that while Jesus was alive on the earth, before His D and R, there is no way He could get inside people, right? He was a Man with a physical body and could not enter inside another man.
Yet after His D and R, several verses show us that Jesus can enter man, that He enters and is inside a believer.
Can you explain that difference? What words would you use to describe this change?
