January 20, 2024 THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US
John 14:16, 16:13a “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.” “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth,”
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Romans 8:14, 5:3-5 “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts though the Holy Spirt who has been given to us.”
God gives us the Holy Spirit for a reason. Above are just a few verses that gives us insight on the work of the Holy Spirt who lives in us. Certainly, all the books in the world could never exhaust the subject of the Holy Spirit and how He works in the lives of believers. In these few sentences, let us be reminded that the Holy Spirt was given for specific reasons, and also be challenged to see if we can see evidence of His work in us. It is possible for a believer to ignore, or grieve the Spirt of God; He does not force Himself on us. However, may you and I not be guilty of that. What a blessing that God has given us the Holy Spirit as a Helper. God knows that we need help! We cannot live this Christian life without the Holy Spirit being our Helper. A most important way that the Holy Spirit helps us is by guiding us into all truth. Our enemy’s primary weapon that He attempts to use against us is that of presenting lies to us. Because the word of God is truth, we must have our perceptions and our thought life based on the word of God. Rather being led by our own dictates, we must be led by the Spirit of God; the Holy Spirit will lead us. When we are lead by the Holy Spirt, the Spirit will produce certain fruits and characteristics in us-see Galatians above. Through the sufferings in life, the Spirit produces endurance, character, and hope-that is why we can rejoice in our sufferings. One of the greatest works of the Holy Spirit is that through Him, the love of God has been poured into our hearts. Here is the big question for us-and the main point of this blog. Are we yielded to the Holy Spirit and are we conscience of His work in us, and are we experiencing the fruit of the Spirit as listed in Galatians 5:22-23. This is not meant to condemn us, but to encourage us to live according to the Spirit, and not according to the flesh-or anything outside of God. We have an all-sufficient Helper with us all the time.
Romans 8:9 “You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of God does not belong to Him.”
