…we receive this personal gift of Christ’s own Spirit not only because we are Christ’s by faith and love, but because this faith and love have made us desire His life, to be in Him, and because in Baptism, having been baptized into Christ, we have put on Christ. Christ is the Anointed and we receive His anointment; Christ is the Son and we are adopted as sons; Christ has the Spirit as His Life in Himself and we are given participation in His Life.
