December 20, 2025 – The Greatest Gift
Sermon: 1950 The Authority of the Holy Spirit, part 2
Pray Over This
“But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.”
Ponder This
When Jesus died on the cross, He gave Himself for us. But then, when He sent the Holy Spirit, He gave Himself to us. And now we have that fellowship with God that was severed when Adam sinned. We’re reconciled. It is not God that is reconciled. God doesn’t need to be reconciled. We’re the ones who are reconciled with God. Adam walked with God in the garden, but I have the Holy Spirit within me. In Christ, through the Holy Spirit, we have much more than what Adam had. We have God’s presence in us, and we have restoration in Him.
The grace of God means God has regenerated us. He’s not simply saved us from wrath. He has come into our hearts and given us life. Jesus said, “I’ve come that you might have life and have it abundantly.” The gift of regeneration is that we are not only created by God but saved by Him and empowered through His Spirit to live life with Him.
- How have you experienced God’s gift of Himself to you? How does that change your relationship with Him?
- How have you seen the Holy Spirit at work in your life? How does it encourage you to remember God’s presence is accessible wherever you are?
Practice This
Praise God for the gift of His presence through the Holy Spirit. Share with someone else how you have experienced the Holy Spirit.
