What does the Bible say about being possessed by Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being possessed by Christ means belonging to Him as His treasured possession, marked by true faith and transformative grace.

In Galatians 5:24, it is stated that 'they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.' This signifies that true believers are not merely moral or zealous in their actions, but they are truly possessed by Christ. They belong to Him through His sovereign grace, as His purchased people redeemed by His blood. The possession implies both a relationship and a responsibility to live according to His Spirit, indicating that their lives are marked by the fruit of the Spirit such as love, joy, and peace.
