Bible Question: How does the New Testament define a "gift" of the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Answer: Lets try to make it simple, God wants all who will to be able to be saved, all people must do is trust in Jesus (according to the Gospel) in a personal manner. The gift of the Spirit is given by the same basis, but problem occurs with both salvation and the true relationship with the Spirit when people neglect sanctification. Further, the gift of the Spirit is a first fruit of our heritage (heaven), and is a confirmation that the Gospel really is true. |
