God’s promises include the Holy Spirit – Galatians 5:22-23
The Bible tells us that God’s promises include the Holy Spirit. It also tells us that He can bring joy back into our lives. This is the main reason that Paul challenges his Galatian followers to take up a holy-spirit-filled life.
If we are to believe what the Bible says about God’s promises, we must learn how to walk in the Spirit. A good way to do this is to pray for the Holy Spirit. When we pray for the Spirit, we speak with boldness. As we pray, the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth.
To be a full-of-the-Spirit Christian, we must exhibit the following traits: faith, gentleness, patience, self-control, love, courage, and perseverance.
In the Bible, the word “spirit” refers to a divine quality that a person can transmit into his or her personality. For example, Paul speaks of the Abrahamic covenant as a promise of the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the down payment of God’s promises. He is the one who will set the pace and carry out each part of the work. He will provide the power to resist temptation. However, sanctification will not happen overnight. So, if you want to be pure and righteous, you must start praying for the Spirit.
One of the most exciting things about the Holy Spirit is the promise of joy. Joy is a state of mind. It is a state of mind that comes when you believe in Jesus. While God’s joy is wonderful, it will not be our joy.
