How do we know that Christ dwells in our hearts by faith?

The Apostle Paul speaks of Christ dwelling in the hearts of believers by faith (Ephesians 3:17). This indwelling is made possible by the Holy Spirit, who is sent to strengthen the inner person. The presence of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life signifies that Christ resides within, affirming their faith and providing assurance of salvation. Paul indicates that a person's identity in Christ is intertwined with the Spirit's work in their life. Consequently, believers are encouraged to cultivate their faith, recognizing that it is through faith they experience Christ's presence and love within them.
