Conclusion
Conclusion
Is your heart oriented toward salvation and life in Jesus?
If so, you have the Holy Spirit.
Do you love the things that God loves?
If so, you have the Holy Spirit.
Do you seek out fellowship with the people of God?
If so, you have the Holy Spirit
Warning: If you have none of these things, then you have nothing as it relates to the Kingdom of God. You have not the Father, you have not the salvation that is given freely by the Son, you have not the life that comes from the Spirit.
And, so, repent. For those who have never followed God, repent and be baptized and you WILL receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (). You will also receive all of the gifts that subsequently flow from life in the Spirit.
You will also receive all of the gifts that subsequently flow from life in the Spirit. For those among us who have begun to follow but have quenched the Work of the Spirit through poor living and lack of attention to the things of God, repent and know that God receives you back not only today, but every day.
For those among us who have begun to follow the Way of Jesus but have quenched the Work of the Spirit through poor living and lack of attention to the things of God, repent and know that God receives you back not only today, but every day.
All the gifts of God in Jesus Christ, through the work of the Holy Spirit are yours. If you will receive them.
Amen
