ART THOU WITH HOLY SPIRIT?

in #christianity6 years ago

The question "art thou with holy spirit?" is an inquiry that ought to be made of every person or group of person(s) in the body of Christ, who wants to successfully carry out the mission of evangelizing the gospel of Christ to the world.

The great commission bequeathed to us by Christ, which is to evangelize the world by teaching and preaching to the people and baptizing them in the name of the father, son and Holy spirit -Acts 1:5. This great commission is attainable only with the aid of the Holy spirit, for "without spirit in vain is man". Thereby highlighting the purpose for which Christ promised us the Holy spirit (the comforter) -John 14:16.

The great great task before us cannot be accomplished without first creating the required atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to dwell within us. And one of God's attribute is that: He is Holy and all those who worship Him (God) must do so in the same likeness -Leveticus 11:45; 20:7.

God dwelleth not in uncleanliness, He hath called us unto holiness -1Thess 4:7. Holiness is a virtue which gives us the enablement to see Christ -Hebrew 13:14.

For the Holy spirit to dwell with us forever, we're expected to:
Love God -Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27. And keep his commandments -John14:21; All for the greater good: Eternal life -John 3:16. Then alone can we ask for the comforter and it shall abide with us forever. And we shall do greater exploits as Christ promised -John 14:12-16.

Now the question that comes to mind is: How can this great feat be achieved? Its simple; all we have to do is:

Eschew indiscipline -Proverb 15:5
Flee youthful lust and follow righteousness -1Thessalonians 4:3-6; Psalm 1:6
Be in oneness in Christ -Galatians 3:26-28
Meditate daily in God's word -Psalm 119:105; 1:1-3
Have faith in God and live a Christ like life -2Peter 3:17-18; John 5:23-24

May the grace of the Lord abound in our lives as we deliberate under the guidance of the Holy spirit.

Amen...praise to our Lord God Jesus Christ.

Good post @gabte......

Everyone who's saved has the Holy Spirit.

(Ephesians 4:30 NIV) And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
