Bible Question:
does every born again Believer have the Holy Spirit inside of them? I felt an uncomfortable feeling in the company of certain people, but my husband doen't feel that. mmweibel@juno.com |
Bible Answer: Hi mmweibel, Yes, every truly born again believer does have the Holy Spirit. Nolan has shared a good verse with you and I'd like to add a couple more. John 3:6 - "that which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit." Romans 8:9b - But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him (Christ). So, indeed, you cannot be 'born again' and not have the Spirit because it is the Spirit Himself who takes up residence in us that causes us to be born again. But, as Nolan has said, talk with your husband about this. This may indeed be discernment on your part. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit's indwelling is never based upon feelings. It is based upon the facts of God's Word and our accepting those facts by faith. In Christ, Bill Mc |
