Why is being in the Spirit important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Being in the Spirit signifies a transformation from spiritual death to life, enabling believers to please God through faith.

To be in the Spirit is to experience regeneration—this is essential for all Christians as it reflects the transition from being spiritually dead due to sin to being alive in Christ. Romans 8 emphasizes that those who have the Spirit of God dwelling in them no longer belong to the flesh but to the Spirit. This means that their lives are now directed by the Holy Spirit, allowing them to fulfill the righteousness of the law—not through their own efforts, but as a result of being made new creations in Christ. Furthermore, being in the Spirit enables believers to persevere in their faith, cultivating a relationship with God that focuses on trust and reliance upon Christ's finished work.
