God's Spirit and ours

www.brainpickings.org

I've frequently wondered how it all works with us having a spirit, and God having a spirit, and then us having God's spirit!

Just come across this in 1 Corinthians 6:16b-17 ... 

"For two, saith he, shall be one flesh.  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."

So, as in marriage when two (man and wife) become one, and as, therefore, in salvation redemption when two (Jesus and church) become one ... so, in the individual, in personal salvation, two (man's spirit and God's spirit) become one?

... No wonder God doesn't want us to marry non-Christians!  What would that proclaim to creation?  That God ultimately will be united with those who have not been saved through faith by grace ... so, a lie ... which God hates.  So let's not marry non-Christians.

That's that sorted then!
