As I stated within a prior post around the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit is the 3rd person from the Trinity, distinct in personality but the same and equal as God. Again, the Holy Trinity is actually a mystery and I did attempt to clarify it in that post so you can study it up there for enlightenment.
In the Word of God (the Bible), the Holy Spirit is called various names – the Paraclete, the Comforter, the Helper, Breath of the Almighty God, Power from the Highest, Eternal Spirit, Spirit in the Father, Spirit of Christ, Spirit from the Son, Spirit of life and so on and so forth.
When He had virtually completed His mission on earth, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ told His Apostles in John 14:15-17, “If you really like me, you are going to obey my commandments. I will ask the Father (God) and He will provide you with yet another Helper, who will remain with you forever. He’s the Spirit who reveals the truth about God.
The globe can’t receive Him, because it cannot see Him. But you know Him, because He remains with you and is in you.”
Jesus was referring towards the Holy Spirit right here and He created a clear distinction that only those that 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’ll not be left all alone; I will come back to you. In a small whilst the planet will see me no more, but you’ll see me; and since I live, you also will live. When that day comes, you will realize that I’m inside the Father and that you are in me, just as I’m in you.
Whoever accepts my commandments and obeys them may be the a single who loves me. My Father will adore whoever love me; I too will love him and reveal myself to him.”
Once again Jesus is referring towards the Holy Trinity (God the Father, Himself, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit).
We clearly infer from Jesus’ statement that anybody who doesn’t obey His commandments will not love Him and His Father (God) loves those who obey Jesus’ commands and Jesus loves and reveals Himself to them.
So the Holy Spirit of God only comes to people who obey Jesus’s commandments. Jesus fulfilled His promise from the Holy Spirit to His Apostles on Pentecost Day, ten days after He ascended to Heaven (Acts two:1-12). The Holy Spirit has guided the Physique of Christ (the Church) through 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 could be too a lot for you to bear. When, nevertheless, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, He will lead you into all truth. He will not speak on His own authority, but He will speak of what He hears, and will tell you of things to come.
He will give me glory, simply because He will take what I say and tell it to you. All that my Father has is mine; which is why I said that the Spirit will take what I give Him and inform it to you.”
Certainly, anyone who sincerely obeys Jesus’ commandments would possess the guarantee in the Holy Spirit as a guide to the truth about God. Those who disobey Jesus’ commandments can not have the guarantee from the Holy Spirit. They are the ones Jesus refers to because the world that can not see or obtain the Holy Spirit.
How does someone know if she or he has the Holy Spirit in him or her? Is it by claiming to understand God or Jesus Christ? The Word of God clarifies this problem in Galatians five:16-26, “What I say is this: let the Holy Spirit direct your lives, and also you won’t satisfy the desires of human nature.
For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit desires, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature desires. These two are enemies, and this means that you can not do what you want to do. When the Spirit leads you, then you definitely usually are not subject towards the law.
What human nature does is fairly plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions; in worship of idols and witchcraft. Individuals grow to be enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups; they are envious, get drunk, have orgies, and do other things like these. I warn you now as I’ve before: those who do these items will not possess the Kingdom of God.
But the Spirit produces really like, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. There’s no law against such issues as these. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires. The Spirit has offered us life; He should also handle our lives. We need to not be proud or irritate 1 yet another or be jealous of one yet another.”
These qualities in the preceding paragraph would be the fruits from the Holy Spirit that manifest in people who love Christ Jesus and obey His commandments and whom the Holy Spirit will come into their lives.
Dear reader, it’s important to note right here that our Lord Jesus Christ also loves those that do not obey His commands, however the really like He has for them is what created Him die on the cross for mankind’s sins to reconcile mankind to God over 2,013 years ago. Jesus, who’s God and the creator of every little thing in Heaven and on earth knows the starting in the finish.
He knows that anybody right here on earth who’s not obeying His commands is living a harmful life and doesn’t 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 chance for repentance is only here on earth and NOW when we’re nonetheless alive.
ONLY people who obey Jesus’ commandments would make it to Heaven once they depart this world since the Holy Spirit will usually be with them right here on earth to lead them to the truth about God as Jesus promised and as continues to take place till right now.
Jesus produced 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 single day in sin and are presently in hell undergoing torment.
Jesus continues to weep everyday for this reason very sad truth and in His really like and mercy as our Father He has taken a number of 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 guarantee of getting to heaven.
Satan now continues to laugh given that 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 into the lake burning with fire and sulphur, that is the second death (Revelation 21:8).
As I write this message, this is an chance for you, dear reader, and I as we are still alive to examine our lives cautiously 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 towards the truth about God.
I plead with you not to harden your heart as you study this message. Never permit Satan to deceive you whilst here on earth. People who did inside the past and have died are regretting it now in hell fire however it is also late to repent there. The chance to repent is only here on earth and the time for you to repent is NOW, not tomorrow or within the future simply because nobody knows the day the finish would come for him or her.
God bless you as you listen to His voice these days, accept this message of life, act on it sincerely and share it with other people you know are really in want. Could the Lord bless you abundantly as you comply in Jesus’ Mighty name, Amen.
