"Receiving the Holy Spirit."

Not only does the Holy Spirit bring about the work of conversion, but after it has taken place, after Christ has come into your heart, the Holy Spirit personally gives you the assurance that you are a believer. As Romans 8:16 says, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” As a result, you can have the inner conviction and witness of the Holy Spirit that you are a child of God.

God is not asking you to do the impossible. He will give you the power to live the Christian life. With the Holy Spirit empowering you, and as you yield to Him, you can live this life that God has called you to live.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

John 6:63
