The Spirit of God is called Holy Spirit, and He is living in us to guide us into all truth. He helps us understand the Word of God, so that we can follow its instructions and include it in our lifestyle. By His Spirit being in us, we have been paid for by the pure, sinless blood of Jesus.

LifeCoachMack Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 What means the sealing, the earnest, and our hearts? Perhaps we can see God's dream in this. When you read the verse 2 Cor 1: 21b "and hath anointed us, is God; 22* Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." I am deeply touched that God, himself, has sealed us unto himself as a done deal. Whatever is given as the earnest is given as a sign of serious intent, and God has given us himself as the earnest in the form of the Holy Spirit. So we know that God has given himself in the form of Christ Jesus to die and be risen for our sins, and God has given himself in the form of the Holy Spirit for our continued guidance, and is serious in his intent. Further, we read in the Old Testament Jer 31:33* But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. —we could say that God began by writing his law in our hearts, but with the sacrifice of our Christ, he has fulfilled and covered the law in our hearts with the grace of the Holy Spirit. In a sense, he has replaced our lawful hearts of stone with a grace-filled heart of flesh. We also might ask, "What is God's so very serious intent that he would give himself for our sins and give himself into our hearts as his earnest?" and we find the answer in the Jeremiah passage where he says he shall be our God, and we shall be his people—this is the deal that God has actually done. To answer the question, in God's own heart, I believe God's "dream" is that he desires to have us as his people and for us to embrace him intimately as our God in glory. The Spirit in our hearts bears witness to this, that we are already one with our Maker through Christ Jesus our Lord. I know I'm not a Biblical scholar. Please feel invited to nudge me if you feel I'm off track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceerobert Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 The Holy Spirit is a spirit being that no one can see, but it resides in those who have faith in Jesus Christ. When you have the Holy Spirit in you, people who have the faith can really see that He resides in you. Even the unbelieve will see the glow. He is the one telling us everything about GOD and JESUS; informing us who they are and how we should show our respects and also praying. The presence of the Holy Spirit in my life is very significant in the fact that He is the one telling how to behave and also how to respond to those in need. By having the Holy Spirit in me is a sign that I am a true believer in Christ and also HE is very active in my life in informing me to discern between right and wrong. The Holy Spirit is our mediator, He is the communication between us and GOD. He is our communication line between you and GOD. By having the Holy Spirit in each believer means that each of us can communicate with God and the best of all is that we have a relationship with GOD.

Travis63 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Q1. (2 Corinthians 1:21b-22) According to this verse, what does the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives signify? It signifies / indicates, a strong indication of the Holy Spirit's presences in our lives is being influenced by Him, not it. This influence conveyed is not prompted by music nor the uttering or unction of / from others. Abiding / adhering to the Holy Spirit establishes a person as being consecrated (Holy), or set apart to the service of God by the Holy Spirit to / for the service of God. 1st John 2:20, 2:27 as a person is anointed by the Holy Spirit the significance is that they are under His influence, not their own or under the influence of Self a.k.a. flesh. Adherence, obedience to the Holy Spirit allows / empowers us to be in His Will, thereby by not only do we have an opportunity to be in His Will accomplishing His agenda, we also have the opportunity to communes with the Father. How does the Spirit unite us with God? By faith, Jesus the Christ is the way, being that He in person no longer dwell in the earth, He left the Comforter to minister to those that believe. When we received Jesus as Savior and Lord the Holy Spirit began to dwell within us. As we abide with Him we are united with Him. Honoring His presence in our lives gives indications that we are His. (Romans 8:9 ISV) You, however, are not under the control of the human nature but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of the Messiah, he does not belong to Him. (KJV) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. What is the promise of future blessing inherent in the Spirit’s presence? Inherent = intrinsic, natural, inborn Through the Comforter a.k.a. Christ Jesus Him we establish that we are His. Upon accepting, receiving Him we are justified. As we live, move and have our being we are being sanctified. By grace through faith upon being in His presence we who do not draw back will be glorified. There are many parables that convey future blessing, the three that I'd like to reference are spoken in the same chapter. In Matthew 24 Jesus said that He would return, be ready, watch, and pray. In Matthew 25 we have three examples where the Spirit of His guidance was not carried out. These examples are where people are in their everyday lives, of the first five did not use wisdom, of the second one of His servant was lazy and disobedient; of the third parable the goats were indifferent and did not provide service. How does these three parables have anything to do with the Spirit. The three are One, they simply have different functions, the Spirit is not an it, the Holy Spirit is He. He lives within those who believe as those who believe allow, or better surrender to His Will. Surrendering to His Will affords Him to be seen in us. Upon glorification the union will be wonderful, the betroth will have been successful, at that time we shall see Him face to face and will be like Him in character with the added promise of spending eternity with Him.
