Bible Answer: Wonbyone, We need Jesus. In Him is the fulness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When we are batized into Him we received the holy Spirit and His gifts. “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" “Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, 7 every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. “For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call." “He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." “Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day. Acts 2:37-40 “Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.” John 3:5 “not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,” Titus 3:5 " THE GIFTS AND FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ”The moral life of Christians is sustained by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are permanent dispositions which make man docile in following the promptings of the Holy Spirit. ”The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.( Cf. Isa 11:1-2) They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. ”Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.( Ps 143:10) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God . . . If children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.( Rom 8:14,17) ”The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: "charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity."( Gal 5:22-23 (Vulg.).” The Catechism Emmaus |
