Romans 8:11

"And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

From Background Notes [BN] for October 12th/13th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Following the storyline of ancient Israel in the wilderness, Paul elaborates the Spirit’s indwelling by paralleling God’s Shekinah glory above the earthly tabernacle or the Jerusalem Temple (compare 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19).


So what do we do with “in the Spirit”? Technically, there is a difference between the Spirit in us and ourselves in the Spirit. To be “in the Spirit” has to do with our condition or situation or relationship to the Spirit.[BN,7]
