1 Corinthians 2:10 speaks about the Holy Spirit. This is the third Person in the Godhead Trinity. I will preface my comments by saying that I don’t pretend to know all the answers. All we can do is read the Bible, study it, and comprehend what the Lord is telling us. It is with [...] The preaching of Jesus Christ and what He has done for us is by itself enough to convince sinners of the need to come to Him. In 1 Corinthians 2:2, Paul talks about resisting the temptation or urge to incorporate his own leanings or teachings into his sermons, but instead preaching simply about Jesus. [...] In 1 Thessalonians 5:19, we are told to “Quench not the Spirit.” When the Holy Spirit speaks to us, we are to listen, and obey. We are to give deference to the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the holy [...] In Romans 8:23-27, Paul talks more about the Holy Spirit and His work for us. We have an earnest expectation that God will liberate us from this sinful body. In verse 22, we read where the entire creation of God yearns to be liberated from the mortal body which we now inhabit. Verse 23 [...] With the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we become what Paul calls the “children of God.” We will look into this closer in the next few verses.
