Holy Spirit

When and how do I receive the Holy Spirit?

God’s Response

Now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God. Ephesians 1:13-14

God had long ago promised the Holy Spirit, but he didn’t give it to the believers until after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension to heaven. The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life guarantees that you will receive everything else God has promised. God gave you his Holy Spirit when you believed in Jesus Christ and accepted him as your Savior. Since the Spirit is now always present with you, everyday is a new opportunity to receive his guidance and comfort. Will you listen to him and follow him today?

God’s Promise

God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world’s spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. 1 Corinthians 2:12
