19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20
Sonship Through the Spirit
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8: 12-17

The Holy Spirit is also God. part of the triune Godhead When we have the Holy Spirit in us, we are born again, to live and die for Jesus. We desire to do Gods will and live the life he shows us how to live and serve Him only, to turn from sin and honor Him with love, respect and obedience, and glad to do so as He knows best. THe Holy Spirit is our guide , our conuncelor and our conscience. He will lead us away from sin and to JEsus every time. When you get a nudging to do good, its the Holy SPirit. WHen you get a nudging to do wrong, that is the devil and his evil spirits trying to pull you away from God and into sin and rebellion against God. But we have a choice who we hear and listen to and obey.
God wont force us to do as He says. But, HE calls us to Him, and awy from sin, to protect us and to take us to heaven Obedience leads to blessing, and disobedience still leads to curse and hell, if they dont repent.
The Holy Spirit also is our comforter, and will lift us up when we need it, and to bring us back into total communion with God and find His peace, lvoe and joy, to the point of incredibleness. Hard to expalin or understand if you havent felt it, but its so real. God lvoes us so much, and its my priviledge to love Him back. I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit in my life, that always guides me and comforts me, and takes me back to one on one with God. Praise the Lord for all God does.

To have the Holy Spirit as our "Paraclete" is to have God Himself indwelling us as believers. He teaches us the Word and guides us into the truth of that Word. He also reminds us of what He has taught us so that we can depend on God's Word in the difficult times of life. The Spirit uses the Word to give us His peace (John 14:27), His love (John 15:9, 10), and His joy (John 15:11). These are profound truths that comfort our hearts and minds in a troubled world. The power of this indwelling "paraclete" gives us the ability to "live by the Spirit so that we will not gratify the desires of the sinful flesh" and "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25). We, then, can have the "fruit of the Spirit" produced in our own lives (Galatians 5:22, 23) to the glory of God the Father. What a blessing to have the Holy Spirit in our lives as our "paraclete," our Comforter, our Encourager, our Counselor, and our Advocate. Thank you, Father, for your wonderful gift!

It means that the believers of god believe that a part of god is in everyone he created so that is the importance of treating others with respect even if they are at first not so respectful, they have the potential to be.
Also it means that god sees through their eyes through the part of him that is in t he people he created. That is how he doesn't miss anything and 'sees' everything.

JESUS is the GOOD SOWER who plants the seed within us. When you have been BORN AGAIN in THE HOLY SPIRIT you have this seed in you. The seed which falls on good soil bares many fold fruits.
John 3:8 Â The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.
