FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 8:9: But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
The evidence of conversion is the presence of the Holy Spirit within, witnessing that you are a child of God. Your body becomes the very temple of the Holy Spirit. Even though the body is destined to die because of sin (unless, of course, the Lord returns), the Spirit gives life to that body today so that we may serve God. If we should die, the body will one day be raised from the dead, because the Holy Spirit has sealed each believer. 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19–20
Have you come to that place? Have you realized that your life is not your own? You now belong to Another. Your life belongs to the only One who died for you and now lives in you. Glorify God with your life today. Surrender your thoughts, your words, and your walk for His purposes. Let Christ have His way in you and through you.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
He will satisfy your surrendered life for His glory. Romans 8:16
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God
Dear Father, thank You for Your Holy Spirit living within me…in Jesus Name. Amen.
