The Holy Spirit—The Guarantee of New Birth

When we are born again, we receive the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of our salvation and as a guide for our new life. He is not an occasional visitor—He is the Comforter who remains with us forever. The Holy Spirit gives us the desire and ability to do God’s will, convicts us of sin, leads us into all truth, and empowers us to live in holiness. We often want to continue our lives as if nothing has changed, forgetting that the Holy Spirit is within us and He goes wherever we go. We must live aware of His presence, avoiding anything that grieves Him. Today, choose to be a holy temple for God's Spirit, allowing Him to transform your thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, thank You for living in me and for being my guide and Comforter. Help me be aware of Your presence at every moment and to live a life that pleases You. Cleanse me from all sin and transform my mind to think like Christ. Give me the strength to say no to sin and yes to Your will. I want to be a holy temple where Your presence can be made manifest freely. Thank You for helping me live as a true child of God. Amen.
