1CO 3:11 The foundation of spiritual life is Christ 2Co 5:17 Regeneration is not reformation or trying harder, it is the revolutionary work of the Holy Spirit creating an entirely new creature. Eph 4:20-24 created in righteousness and holiness.
5 works of Holy Spirit at Salvation (1CO 15:22, col 1:13):
1. Baptism 1Co 12:13 identified and united us with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection
3. Indwelling (permanent, personal) Rom 8:9-11 you are never alone. The purpose of the Spirit indwelling is to bring into my life the presence of Jesus. He is there as a companion, only the Holy Spirit and the wife is called the “helper.”
4. Gifting us 1co 12:4-7 make yourself available in all areas and see what He brings forward
5. Sealed by the Holy Spirit Eph 1:13-14 Eph 4:30 stamp of personal ownership and ensure arrival
Psa 51:11 David could lose the Holy Spirit, but we can’t, we can only lose its power Heb 13:5-6
What practical difference do these 5 things mean? 2Ki 2:9-10 a request of humility. What will we pass on to others as we got? How much of an impact?
Joh 13:1-20 The Spirit as Water. Let knowledge of the Word and Christ change the way we live.
The lowest servant would wash the feet of the people. Luk 22:24
You would not wash your fellow believer, but I will always wash you.
Washing of confession: 1Jo 1:9 we must examine ourselves daily
Washing of obedience: 1jo 1:7
Wash (Go to Him in confession), Eat (Feast on the Word, read the Word everyday), Walk (Spend time with Him, share your day with Him, tell Him your concerns), Work (God has something planned for you everyday for you to make an eternal difference), Rest (we know we have used that day for eternity and fellowshipped with the Lord, and we rest in His faithfulness and promises)
