John 16:7 says, “I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.”
As a child of God, the Holy Spirit lives within my heart. Christ came into the world; He died a horrible death on a cross; He was buried; three days later He rose from the grave; and 40 days later He ascended back into Heaven and is seated at His Father’s right hand. But before He ascended into Heaven, He said, “Before I go, I want you to know I am going to send a Comforter who is not only going to be WITH you, He is going to be IN you.”
The Holy Spirit is that Comforter whom Christ sent to live within us. By virtue of my sonship, I have a permanent spiritual resource, the Holy Spirit living within me. He helps me to walk, talk, and live like a son of God, something I couldn’t do if He weren’t within me. The standard for living life as a child of God is far beyond anything I could ever produce on my own. But when Christ came to live within my heart, He put His blessed Holy Spirit within me. Because I have the Spirit of the Father in me, I am identified as one of His children.
The Holy Spirit in me is far better than a calling card! With the Holy Spirit, I have access to my Heavenly Father 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! That’s a resource of power that I cannot have any other way then through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ!
I trust you know Him in a personal way as YOUR personal Savior from sin.
