Bible Note: Hi Angel, I would suppose that you left out a "don't" and meant to say that "I DON'T understand how you would opt to pencil in the text." May I say that I don't have any problem with the Scriptures that say that Christ is in us or that His Spirit indwells us. See Ephesians 3:16,17. But the "fulness of God" is being filled with knowledge and knowing the love of Christ. Grace and truth was given to us and He gives gifts to men. The Spirit fills us with all these things "until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ,..." Ephesians 4:13. Ephesians 5:18, "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the *spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;" The Spirit of sanctification: Ephesians 3:25, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; 26 that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,..." 1) So I would say that we are washed with the word. Jesus came from God and spoke the words of God. He gave the words (spirit) without measure; John 3:34. We would not be able to contain the Spirit if given to us without measure; but we are given all things and washed with His words. 2) There is a difference between being "indwelt with His Spirit" and being "filled with the spirit".
