The indwelling of Christ means that Christ lives in us. One of the best proofs that Christ lives is that he lives in us. This is not limited to his living in us as individuals - actually, though that be true, it is not the most convincing indwelling of Christ. In John 17 Jesus prays for the unity, the oneness, of his disciples - that they may be one so that the world may believe. In the mind of Christ, the world will be convinced of Him when it sees Him in the Church. Belief in the incarnation comes from seeing the incarnation in the body of Christ, the Church.
When you see two people who hated each other come to love each other - you wonder how that could be - and that wondering leads you to Christ, the only giver of true love, sacrificial love.
My kids can know that I am their father by looking at their DNA which is from me, and my appearance, quirks, habits, leanings in them.
