As I stated in a earlier post on the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit will be the 3rd particular person of the Trinity, distinct in character however the exact same and equal as God. Once more, the Holy Trinity is really a mystery and I did try to explain it in that post so you can study it up there for enlightenment.
In the Word of God (the Bible), the Holy Spirit is known as different names – the Paraclete, the Comforter, the Helper, Breath from the Almighty God, Power from the Highest, Eternal Spirit, Spirit of the Father, Spirit of Christ, Spirit in the Son, Spirit of life and so on and so forth.
When He had nearly completed His mission on earth, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ told His Apostles in John 14:15-17, “If you adore me, you are going to obey my commandments. I’ll ask the Father (God) and He will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever. He is the Spirit who reveals the truth about God.
The world can’t receive Him, since it can’t see Him. But you understand Him, because He remains with you and is in you.”
Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit here and He produced a clear distinction that only those who obey His commandments would obtain the Holy Spirit who will reveal the truth about God.
Jesus goes additional to say in John 14:18-21, “When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you. Inside a little while the father the son and the holy spirit globe will see me no much more, but you’ll see me; and because I live, you also will live. When that day comes, you will understand that I’m within the Father and which you are in me, just as I am in you.
Whoever accepts my commandments and obeys them may be the 1 who loves me. My Father will love whoever really like me; I also will adore him and reveal myself to him.”
Once again Jesus is referring for the Holy Trinity (God the Father, Himself, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit).
We clearly infer from Jesus’ statement that anyone who will not obey His commandments doesn’t adore Him and His Father (God) loves those that obey Jesus’ commands and Jesus loves and reveals Himself to them.
So the Holy Spirit of God only comes to those that obey Jesus’s commandments. Jesus fulfilled His guarantee from the Holy Spirit to His Apostles on Pentecost Day, ten days following He ascended to Heaven (Acts 2:1-12). The Holy Spirit has guided the Body of Christ (the Church) via the ages, revealing the truth about God till this present day.
We see this in Jesus’ words to His Apostles in John 16:12-15, “I have significantly much more to inform you, but now it will be also much for you personally to bear. When, nevertheless, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, He will lead you into all truth. He won’t speak on His personal authority, but He will speak of what He hears, and can inform you of items to come.
He will give me glory, because He will take what I say and tell it to you. All that my Father has is mine; that is why I stated that the Spirit will take what I give Him and tell it to you.”
Indeed, anybody who sincerely obeys Jesus’ commandments would possess the guarantee of the Holy Spirit as a guide towards the truth about God. People who disobey Jesus’ commandments can’t have the promise from the Holy Spirit. They are the ones Jesus refers to because the globe that can not see or get the Holy Spirit.
How does a person know if he or she has the Holy Spirit in him or her? Is it by claiming to know God or Jesus Christ? The Word of God clarifies this concern in Galatians five:16-26, “What I say is this: let the Holy Spirit direct your lives, and you won’t satisfy the desires of human nature.
For what our human nature desires is opposed to what the Spirit desires, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this implies that you cannot do what you want to do. In the event the Spirit leads you, then you definitely usually are not topic to the law.
What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions; in worship of idols and witchcraft. Folks grow to be enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups; they’re envious, get drunk, have orgies, and do other things like these. I warn you now as I’ve prior to: people who do these things won’t possess the Kingdom of God.
However the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. There’s no law against such items as these. And people who belong to Christ Jesus have place to death their human nature with all its passions and desires. The Spirit has offered us life; He must also control our lives. We need to not be proud or irritate one yet another or be jealous of a single an additional.”
These qualities in the preceding paragraph will be the fruits in the Holy Spirit that manifest in those who adore Christ Jesus and obey His commandments and whom the Holy Spirit will come into their lives.
Dear reader, it’s essential to note right here that our Lord Jesus Christ also loves those who don’t obey His commands, but the adore He has for them is what made Him die around the cross for mankind’s sins to reconcile mankind to God more than two,013 years ago. Jesus, who’s God and the creator of every little thing in Heaven and on earth knows the starting from the end.
He knows that anyone here on earth who is not obeying His commands is living a harmful life and does not have the Holy Spirit as a guide to the truth about God. If such particular person dies and leaves this earth in sin, that person’s soul ends up in hell FOREVER with out any other likelihood for repentance. The opportunity for repentance is only right here on earth and NOW when we are nonetheless alive.
ONLY those that obey Jesus’ commandments would make it to Heaven after they depart this world because the Holy Spirit will usually be with them here on earth to lead them towards the truth about God as Jesus promised and as continues to take place till these days.
Jesus created hell for Satan and his demons but a lot of people continue to sin by disobeying Jesus’ commands and die to end up in eternal torment in hell with Satan. Lots of souls die each and every single day in sin and are presently in hell undergoing torment.
Jesus continues to weep everyday for this reason extremely sad truth and in His love and mercy as our Father He has taken numerous folks to show them the realities of hell with perished souls there in eternal torment and heaven with its astounding beauty and returned these witnesses to earth using a warning to mankind to repent of sins and turn to Him (Jesus) because the ONLY assure of getting to heaven.
Satan now continues to laugh because he and his demons are presently tormenting the souls of people who died in sin in hell. Satan will get his personal punishment when hell and death are cast in to the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death (Revelation 21:8).
As I write this message, this is an chance for you personally, dear reader, and I as we’re nevertheless alive to examine our lives carefully and repent of our sins, turn to Jesus Christ and accept Him as Lord and Saviour of our lives and ask for His Holy Spirit to direct us for the truth about God.
I plead with you not to harden your heart as you study this message. Don’t permit Satan to deceive you whilst here on earth. People who did within the previous and have died are regretting it now in hell fire but it is as well late to repent there. The chance to repent is only right here on earth and also the time for you to repent is NOW, not tomorrow or within the future because no one knows the day the finish would come for him or her.
God bless you as you listen to His voice today, accept this message of life, act on it sincerely and share it with other individuals you know are genuinely in require. Might the Lord bless you abundantly as you comply in Jesus’ Mighty name, Amen.
