  • The Guarantee

    Eph 1: 14 NLT

    The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

    The Holy Spirit

    In the western world we have been taught to ignore the spiritual. But God is Spirit, so we need to learn to connect with Him spiritually. The Holy Spirit has been given to all believers. If we trust Him we will see His work in our lives. We will learn to follow Him.

    Jesus promised that He would send the Spirit to lead and guide us into all truth. This means that God’s teaching and guidance is within us.

    The Guarantee

    That:

    1. He will give us the inheritance that He has promised.
    2. He has purchased us to be His own.

    The Result

    The result is that we would praise and glorify Him.

  • The Good News

    Eph 1:13 NLT

    And now you Gentiles have also 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 Good News

    God saves you. This is what God wants to do, save us.

    The How

    When you believe Christ.

    New Identity

    God has identified believers as His own, by giving the Holy Spirit, whom God had promised long ago.

    Now it is up to those of us who believe that through Christ we are saved, to also believe that God has given us His Holy Spirit.
