       And this indwelling, as Paul said, is “the hope of glory.” A couple verses come to mind in light of this. First, Romans 8:16: “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (ESV). That’s how we know we are saved, we are truly in right relationship with God. Lack that, then question it. The second verse is Ephesians 4:30: “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (ESV). Note he must be constantly indwelling us if we can grieve him. And also that he is our seal for “the hope of glory.” Continuing on in Colossians. The first part of verse 28: “Him we proclaim, warning everyone… with all wisdom” (ESV). The understanding of Paul and his companions, specifically Timothy in this letter’s context, proclaiming Christ is really of no need of explanation. That is understood by this point in the New Testament. The Book of Acts shows that clearly.
