Query: Is a information of the Holy Spirit important to the Christian life?

Reply: Sure! We are going to reply this query, from the Bible, as easy and straightforward to grasp as we will. Lesson #6.

In lesson #5 we understood from the Bible that Christians get their energy and authority from the gospel not miracles. On this lesson, #6, we’ll see and perceive the “witness” of the Holy Spirit to the salvation of our soul.

So, let’s start with John’s assertion present in 1 John 3:24 and go from there: “And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we all know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.” Right here we discover the teachings of an apostle enabled by the miraculous energy of the Holy Spirit, however his directions to the Christian is obvious; preserve the commandments of the gospel. That’s the place Christians get their energy! (See Romans 1:16.)

So, with this in thoughts let’s simply see what the Bible says of the function of the Holy Spirit and His “witness” of our being saved. We are going to see that this function is efficient in just one approach and that God has rigorously and systematically furnished us the “one” approach. (See 2 Timothy 3:16-17.)

Paul tells us; “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we’re the kids of God” (Romans 8:16). “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they’re the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). These two Bible statements of Paul’s makes it clear that that the Holy Spirit performs a major function in our salvation. Preserve that in thoughts as we proceed our research.

Now the reply to the all-important query; WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? A query we discover requested, within the Bible, by these in want of and desirous of being saved.

“Now after they heard this, they had been pricked of their coronary heart, and mentioned unto Peter and to the remainder of the apostles, Males and brethren, what lets do” (Acts 2:37)?

“And introduced them out, and mentioned, Sirs, what should I do to be saved” (Acts 16:30)?

“And now why tarriest thou? come up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the identify of the Lord” (Acts 22:16).

“The like determine whereunto even baptism doth additionally now save us (not the placing away of the filth of the flesh, however the reply of conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 3:21).

This is probably not the instructing of man, however it’s the clear instructing of the Bible—as clear because the ringing of a bell!

Due to this fact, let’s see, from the gospel, simply what God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit expects us to do with a view to be saved:

We’re anticipated to “hear” the gospel. As a result of it’s God’s energy to avoid wasting our soul. (See Romans 1:16.)

We’re anticipated to “consider” the gospel. As a result of our private religion is the catalyst which drives us in all acceptable obedience to the need of God. (See 2 Corinthian 5:7.)

We’re anticipated to “repent” of worldliness and switch to the gospel. As a result of that is what the Ninevites did when Jonah preached God’s expectations to them. (See Jonah 3:10.)

We’re anticipated to “confess” our private religion in Christ because the Son of God—an act that follows religion, however is earlier than baptism. As a result of it’s in line with the sample (See Acts 8:37 & Hebrews 8:5.)

We’re anticipated to be “buried” (baptized not sprinkled or poured) in a grave of water. As a result of that is the place God’s grace saves our souls from sin, or the place we’re let out from the sins of the world! (See Ephesians 2:8 & Romans 6:1-6.)

People that’s simply 5 steps to freedom from sin; have you ever taken them?

Judgement is coming (Hebrews 9:27); are you prepared?
