The Holy Spirit
The Spirit is God himself dwelling with and within his people — our Helper, our Counselor, the seal of our redemption. He pours God’s love into our hearts, grows his fruit in our lives, and gives gifts for the good of the church. These verses help you welcome and walk in step with the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,—
When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
The Fruit & Gifts of the Spirit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
