r/BibleVerseCommentary - Spiritual man diagram
The above diagram is based on Watchman Nee's The Spiritual Man. A spiritual man is tripartite: body, soul, and spirit.

Ro 8:

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Where specifically does the Spirit dwell in me?

In my human spirit. It is a Spirit-to-spirit connection. This happened when I was born again.

This indwelling Spirit is our inner peace.

Ph 4:

7 The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This peace of God is the indwelling Paraclete that surpasses all human understanding. He will guard our hearts (emotion) and our minds (intellectual).
