Have you ever stood in great need of comfort and encouragement? If so, you know that in time of affliction, there is no thought or word that has deeper meaning, nor any possession of greater value, than that of effective and genuine comfort. The objective of this study is to equip us to have the assurance that there is comfort available, and to know how to be comforted, as well as how to be a comfort to others in the fires of affliction.

Secure In Christ #4
Work of the Spirit at salvation. Peter failed several times but Jesus restored him (Joh 13:37-38, Joh 14:1). Five things Spirit did for us at salvation:
- Baptism of the Holy Spirit (1Co 12:13) unites us and identifies us with Jesus Christ.
- Baptism provides Regeneration -- We have been cleansed (Tit 3:4, Eph 5:26, Col 2:13).
- Spirit dwells in us (Rom 8:9-11, Joh 14:15-18).
- Gives a Spiritual Gift which is a manifestation of the Spirit (1Co 12:4-7, 1Pe 4:10-11).
- We are sealed unto the Day of Redemption (Eph 1:13-14, Eph 4:30).
The Spirit continues to work in us after salvation. If we are a new creature (2Co 5:17) we were created to change our world.
