“He Makes Salvation a Personal Reality” While it was Jesus who paid for our salvation, it is God's presence through the Holy Spirit that makes salvation a personal reality to anyone who will receive it. Jesus made it clear that we don't just receive salvation when we're born. There is a spiritual rebirth that must take place, one which only the Holy Spirit can author. Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water (natural birth) and the Spirit (spiritual renewal). Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." John 3:5-6 The moment someone receives Christ into their life, it invokes spiritual renewal in their inner person, resulting in the full removal of sin's penalty from their lives. In addition, the Holy Spirit is at work in the lives of non-believers to reveal God's incredible love for them. Jesus said, "When the Counselor (Holy Spirit) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me." John 15:26 Today, the Holy Spirit continues this wonderful ministry of making God's love known by proclaiming Jesus, the personified love of God, and all that He represents to both believers and non-believers in our world.
