Apples of Gold - July 15

The Holy Spirit indwells us from the moment of salvation (Romans:8:9But 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.
See All...; 1 Corinthians:12:13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
See All...). Second Peter 1:3–8 tells us that we have been given all things that pertain unto life and godliness. The newly inducted soldier is given his uniform, helmet, rifle, pack, inoculations, and everything that pertains to his life as a soldier. Does that mean that he immediately uses everything with soldierly proficiency? Of course not! He needs training, he needs to build familiarity, and he needs experiences that cause him to use efficiently what he has been given. This is much like the Christian life. —TBC
