Chapter 11: God’s Eternal Character

“I will put My Spirit inside you and help you live by My rules and carefully obey My laws.” Ezekiel 36:27 NCV

Got Jesus? Really? If so, you’ve got God’s Holy Spirit inside of you. Now ask these questions. If God’s Spirit is really inside of you, do you think He wants to hang out at the Gay and lesbian bar with you? How about watch porn movies with you? What about going down to the state office with you and filing false Articles of Incorporation so you can steal your

congregational church away from its membership? How about going into a courtroom and bearing false witness with you? Do you think God wants to be there with you in any “sinful” situation? Got Jesus? Really? If so, you’ve got God’s Holy Spirit inside of you. If your actions don’t

demonstrate it, you don’t have it. Yes, your walk must match your talk with God or your mouth that espouses Jesus Christ, as savior, is nonsense to God.

“He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but

because of His mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our savior did.” Titus 3:5-6 NLT

In Christ, God’s Spirit Is Poured Out Abundantly!

Indeed, to those in Christ Jesus, God pours out His Holy Spirit in abundance. This Holy Spirit is also called the Spirit of truth. Those who espouse salvation in Christ and then say that sinful lifestyles are okay with Christ and his salvation commit blaspheme against the Spirit of God. They

crucify Christ again and again on the cross with each new sin they claim is sanctioned by Christ. You Episcopal bishops who voted to support the sin of homosexuality know better; Christ’s salvation is only unto righteousness!

“I do not enjoy seeing you die,” the Lord God says. “Turn, turn and live!” Ezekiel 18:32 LIV
