Becoming Christ-like involves growing in sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, who wants to create in us the character of Jesus. Sins that seemed so small suddenly seem big, and our desire to please God means saying no to many things that didn’t bother us before.

Have you ever felt wounded when someone said an unkind word to you? Did you know that God is also wounded when you sin? The Bible calls this “grieving the Holy Spirit.” As we mature in the faith, we become ever more sensitive to the Spirit’s presence, and our behavior begins to change.

Believers in Christ are sealed by the Holy Spirit, and that seal is a down payment on the gift of eternal life yet to come. As God’s property, we’re on the road toward a future kingdom, and the Holy Spirit makes this real to all who are born again.

Seals are used for more than envelopes. Major documents are sealed to ensure authenticity. Seals speak of certainty that what’s inside is genuine and permanent. We were sealed by the Holy Spirit, but what does that mean for every believer?

God sees every motivation and watches every act. We should keep intimacy where God intended it and fleeing any temptation for us to defile our bodies, which are a temple of the Holy Spirit. This comes straight from Paul’s writings to the church at Corinth.

Ancient Corinth was a lot like today’s America: saturated with sex. In the book of 1 Corinthians, we find teaching on moral purity. It was a rude awakening to new converts used to moral debauchery. But the Holy Spirit draws the people of God away from sin and toward living a pure life.

The Holy Spirit brings joy and comfort into the lives of believers. But He also works in the lives of those who do not believe. Jesus said that the Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Let’s take a closer look at the Spirit’s work of communicating about judgment.

As we present the gospel, the Holy Spirit frequently works in the hearts of those who don’t yet believe. He convicts them of their need for God and their need for the forgiveness that Jesus provides. Do you know about this ministry of the Holy Spirit?

If you’re a believer, the Holy Spirit lives in you. There’s an immediate bond between you and other believers in Christ—even when you meet someone you don’t know, and even in a foreign country with a language barrier. That sense of community is evidence that the Holy Spirit is real.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit places all who believe in Jesus into a new community. We join a new family of fellowship with those who are also indwelt with the Holy Spirit—evidence of our new birth in Christ. But some think the baptism of the Spirit is a special anointing which is marked by speaking in tongues. Let’s sort out the issue with Scripture.
