THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The moment we trusted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we were adopted into God’s family. Sealed and indwelt by the person of the Holy Spirit. The indwelling Spirit, being our guarantee that we belong to our heavenly Father.
The Spirit’s ministry is essential to our ability to carry out God’s work, and do it in a manner pleasing to Him. Transforming us from the inside out to be like Jesus and producing spiritual fruit in our lives are significant areas of His work. He also convicts us of sin, provides us with understanding and wisdom, and gives us the spiritual gifts we need in order to serve God. Only through the Spirit’s divine presence do we receive the equipping and empowerment necessary to accomplish God’s plans. As we serve in a godly manner, we testify to the truth of who Jesus is.
All believers have God’s supernatural power to accomplish the work He has for them to do. Yet not all Christians choose to operate out of the Holy Spirit’s strength. By attempting to live the Christian life in our own strength, we achieve only what we ourselves are able to accomplish. However, when you and I operate in the strength and power of the Spirit, the result is what almighty God can do. The presence of the Holy Spirit is essential to our living a victorious life. You think about that.

WHAT THE LAW DEMANS, GRACE PROVIDES
