How do we know that Christ is in us, the hope of glory?
Answered in 1 source
Christ is in us through the promise of His Word and the experience of faith which transforms believers.
The assurance that Christ is in us, ‘the hope of glory,’ comes from both the promises found in Scripture and the lived experience of faith. Scripture assures us that if we truly believe in Christ, His Spirit resides within us, testifying to our hearts and transforming us from the inside out. The manifestation of Christ in the believer is a living reality, not just a theoretical concept; it is evidenced through a changed life that loves God and His word. The deep-seated assurance and joy of salvation provide the foundation for our hope, confirming our eternal union with Christ, who works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose.
