The Holy Spirit Empowered The Early Church Part 7 of 10

Published: March 1, 2020, 8:59 p.m.

b'Romans chapter 5 and verse 5 says \\xa0And hope\\xa0does not put us to shame, because God\\u2019s love\\xa0has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,\\xa0who has been given to us.

You do not know how to properly love until the Holy Spirit has come into your heart.

Notice that it says the Holy Spirit has been given to us.

It is a gift, and you can never earn a gift. Because by definition a gift is something that required nothing on your part.

God\\u2019s gift which is the Holy Spirit is the best gift anyone can ever be given.

That\\u2019s why Ephesians chapter 1 says \\xa0And you also were included in Christ\\xa0when you heard the message of truth,\\xa0the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal,\\xa0the promised Holy Spirit,\\xa014\\xa0who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance\\xa0until the redemption\\xa0of those who are God\\u2019s possession\\u2014to the praise of his glory.'
