God's revealing of His Son to us is in us; it is not outward but inward, not by an outward vision but by an inward seeing. It is not an objective revelation but a subjective one. - Gal 1:16, fn. 3, "in"

2 Cor 5:5 - Now He who has wrought us for this very thing is God, who has given to us the Spirit as a pledge.
Wrought:
Or, fashioned, shaped, prepared, made fit. God has wrought us, fashioned us, shaped us, prepared us, made us fit, for the very purpose that our mortal body might be swallowed up by His resurrection life.
Pledge:
Eph 1:14 - Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

Nothing outward as religion, nothing as outward practises, not just outward to serve Him, BUT CHRIST WITHIN TO BE, BUT CHRIST WORKING INWARDLY, BUT CHRIST GROWING INWARDLY. Praise the Lord, we already have our beloved Christ as Spirit who indwells in us. Amen.
