Remember:<\/strong> In order to experience God\u2019s love and forgiveness you must confess your sin as you become aware of it, and turn again to your heavenly Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An amazing transformation has begun to take place since you received Christ as your Lord and Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are now beginning to live the Christian life, which isn\u2019t a standard of performance nor a code of ethics, but a vital, personal relationship with a loving God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read John 7:37-39.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, not every believer experiences the power to live his life as God intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as our relationship with God is totally dependent on what God has done through Jesus Christ, so the power to live a dynamic Christian life also comes totally from God.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This computer has all the potential to do what it was created to do, but it has no power of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, through your new identity in Christ, you have all the potential you need to live as a new creation in Christ. But, you must continually draw from the proper source of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE POWER SOURCE OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who is He?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read 2 Corinthians 3:17, 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did He come?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. To glorify Christ (John 16:14)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To lead you into all truth (John 16:13)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To dwell in you (Romans 8:9)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. To convict the world of sin and justice (John 16:8)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What part does the Holy Spirit play in your relationship with God?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read Romans 8:14-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
