| Question:
How do you get the HOLY SPIRIT?
|
|
Response:
As far as the Holy Spirit is concerned, a Christian gets all of the Holy
Spirit at the point of salvation. John 14:17 states that the Holy
Spirit dwells with us and in us. John 14:16 says that He abides with
us forever. I Cor 2:14 teaches that the unsaved man can not understand
spiritual truths, because they can only be discerned through the help of
the Holy Spirit, Who indwells believers. II Cor 1:22 and Eph 1:13-14
teach that the believer is given the indwelling ministry of the Holy
Spirit as earnest, or a down payment, on all the blessings of eternity.
Therefore, all who have received Christ as Savior have the Holy Spirit.
The question is, does the Holy Spirit have all of us? We are commanded
to be "filled with the Spirit" (Eph 5:18), which means to have the Holy
Spirit in control of our lives. We are not to grieve (Eph 4:30), or
quench (I Thes 5:19) the Spirit, so that He can have full leadership in
our lives.
