Translations:DEV 03FN Foundations for Ministry of the Spirit/26/en

'Summary: The Holy Spirit’s presence is a gift from the Father. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would satisfy or deepest longings. Through the Spirit, we experience intimacy with God. The Spirit enables us to understand new life in Christ and experience assurance of being a child of God. There are three kinds of people: non-believers who do not have the Spirit of God, believers who have the Spirit of God but are living by the flesh, and believers who have the Spirit of God and are living by the Spirit’s power. We cannot live the Christian life in our own strength. The person who continually practices sin should realize they may not be a Christian. '
