THEME: THE HOLY SPIRIT
Romans 8:11-12
“And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
INSIGHT
-The Holy Spirit is God. He forms part of the Holy Trinity, together with God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit played a critical role in the ministry of Christ, having participated in His birth through virgin Mary. He also descended upon Jesus like a dove during His baptism and raised Him from the dead. We have the same hope in the Holy Spirit having Him indwelling in our hearts, that we too will be raised from the dead to eternal life at the last day. The Holy Spirit also works in the lives of believers to renew, sanctify, and make us holy. In 1 Corinthians 6:11, we see that, “But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God”. We have then been sanctified, meaning set apart as sacred, through the purification from our sin to become spiritually mature and made Christ-like by the help of the Holy Spirit. This is a daily process as we walk with God and are renewed in the mind day by day, leaving behind the old into a new creation. The Holy Spirit helps us in this process of sanctification, where we die to our old self and become all that God created us to be, free from the entanglement of sin and live victoriously through faith. The Holy Spirit is thus God with us and within us, who walks with us daily and has assured us of eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus.
