The Spirit's Work in This Age - Dispensational (Galatians 5:22-23)

Dispensationalists note: the Spirit's permanent indwelling is a distinctive of the church age. Old Testament believers experienced the Spirit differently; the Spirit came "upon" them for specific tasks. Since Pentecost, the Spirit indwells all believers, producing fruit from within. This is our dispensation's privilege—and responsibility. The fruit of Galatians 5:22-23 is what Spirit-indwelt Christians should increasingly display. In this age of grace, the Spirit works character transformation from the inside out.
