Understanding Indwelling and Regeneration

The podcast delves into the concept of indwelling and regeneration, particularly under the Old Covenant. It is emphasized that while Old Covenant believers were indeed indwelt by the Holy Spirit, this experience was not uniform among them, often occurring in exceptional cases such as prophets or key leaders like Moses and David. Dr. Hamilton argues that the New Testament presents a distinct shift whereby all believers are promised the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, a transformative experience that differs from what those under the Old Covenant encountered. This pivotal shift raises essential theological questions about continuity and discontinuity between the two covenants.
