My Comments: As one can see from these verses the New
Testament shows the Holy Spirit abiding in those who have accepted Jesus’
redemption and put on His righteousness. When we accept Jesus we are filled
with the Holy Spirit of God. That is why those who say once a person is saved
or Born Again they can do as they please because there is therefore now no
condemnation in them. Yet that is not true.
True the truly redeemed is no longer condemned to Hell when
they pass from this world to Heaven yet one grieves the Holy Spirit if they
continue to sin after being Born Again. One of two things may then take place.
The newly Born will feel the pricks of the Holy Spirit trying to get them to
stop sinning and they will more and more each day turn away from that sin that
had ahold of them but if they persist they probably were not Born Again but had
an “experience” that they thought they were saved.
God’s presence does not remain where sin exists. He has to
come against sin. He has to in His very essence destroy sin. Sometimes newly
Born will completely turn from the sin that had a hold on them and sometimes it
takes time in order for the person to learn lessons. Yet it is always a turning
from sin because God in the person of the Holy Spirit will continue to change
them into the likeness of our Lord. Those who drank find they no longer want to
drink, those who smoked turn from it. Those who lived for sex find they only
want that one true love of God above all things and if God wants them to have a
spouse then He will bring one into their lives though that doe not mean there
will not be challenges in a marriage because marriage is a learning ground as
well. One who has accepted Jesus and the Gospel of Jesus are filled with hope
and even in suffering find the joy of knowing they are saved and will one day
be with Jesus for eternity.
That Joy brings peace in the storms and the power of the
Holy Spirit enables the Born Again one to weather those storms. I liken it to
when I was a young lady and fished in Alaska
When men reject what I say when pointing them to God then it
is not me they are rejecting. It is their Creator they reject. Abba fills us
with His Holy Spirit when we become His Children and the world rejects Him who
sent Him to fill us. When we are filled with His Holy Spirit we become a temple
of the Lord and all we do reflects on Him who created us. Yet we can do nothing
of ourselves but that God wills.
Often men say thus and thus will happen but if they are not
filled with His Holy Spirit the Wind of Truth, then it is not prophecy. There
were spirits and it still happens, that entered into people who were not sealed
by God with His Holy Spirit. Those spirits had (and still have people) those
they inhabited speak things but the persons were not (and are not) filled with
the Holy Spirit. They were (and are) filled with the fallen followers of the
evil one. They imitate the true and Holy Spirit of God. They like the one they
serve are deceivers. I caution people to
be careful who they serve and who they follow.
Abba Father I pray You
lead all our loved ones to the true and ever living knowledge of Your
truths imparted by Your Holy Spirit. Give all who seek Your knowledge
find it if they are seeking to know You more for Your glory and praise.
Guide us all through Your Holy Spirit so we will not be blinded to the
lies of the world and the evil one. I pray You keep Your living Word
growing in our hearts and that we understand Your Holy Spirit more fully.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
communion of the Holy Spirit, be with us all. Amen
