The Holy Spirit has over 30 ministries to believers! It's awesome what He is doing in us and through us.
Jesus told Nicodemus, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again" (Jn. 3:6). It all begins right there.
How did it all happen? "But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God… to them that believe on his name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man; but of God" (Jn. 3:12–13).
The Gospel is that "Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again and was seen by hundreds" (1 Cor. 15:1–4). The Good News is "the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth" (Rom. 1:16).
Beloved, we are the sons and daughters of God (1 John 3:2). Not "one day we will be, if we hold out to the end." RIGHT NOW, we are His sons and daughters! We have eternal life because we have been born of God, and we have His life. What a great salvation!
Jesus said, "He that believeth on the Son HATH (right now) everlasting life" (Jn. 3:36). He also said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whoever believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (Jn. 11:25–26).
The Holy Spirit is such a wonderful person. Get to know what He wants to do in and through you, and let Him do it! You will be so glad you did.
Prayer: Father, thank You that we have been born of the Spirit into Your family and are now sons and daughters of God. Help us to live like we ought to live for your honor. In Jesus' name, Amen.
