What is the faith to receive the Holy Spirit as spoken of in the Bible? [Christian Sermon 20]

In whose heart does the Holy Spirit indwell?

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is not achieved through human effort or accomplishment. Only those who believe in the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’ and receive the removal of sins in their hearts by faith can receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.


Then what is the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’?

Today’s sermon message is excerpted from Volume 3 of the series by Pastor Paul C. Jong, God’s servant of The New Life Mission, titled ‘HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT?’

This book is a sermon collection that clearly conveys the truth of salvation through the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’ and ‘the indwelling of the Holy Spirit’ based on the Word of God.

This book is provided free of charge in the form of e-books, audiobooks, and bilingual books, so please visit The New Life Mission website.


The indwelling of the Holy Spirit was accomplished through the beautiful gospel after the resurrection of Jesus.

We are now living in the age of grace, where this beautiful gospel is present.

Nevertheless, it is unfortunate that many people live without fellowship with the Holy Spirit because they do not believe in the gospel of water and the Spirit.


Are you currently in fellowship with the Holy Spirit? Or are you unable to have fellowship with Him because of your sins?

If so, I encourage you to seek and believe in the Word of the gospel of water and the Spirit given by the Lord. When you believe in this gospel, the Holy Spirit will dwell in your heart, and you will walk with Him.

The Holy Spirit dwells only in the hearts of those who believe in the gospel of water and the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit often reveals His will in the hearts of the righteous.

The ministry of Apostle Paul, carried out with the Holy Spirit, was also about spreading the beautiful gospel of water and the Spirit.


How can we recognize someone who has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?

It depends on whether they know and believe in the beautiful gospel of water and the Spirit. If they know and believe in this gospel, then they are undoubtedly someone in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. We understand the power of this beautiful gospel.


However, the Holy Spirit does not dwell in those who do not believe in this beautiful gospel.

The Holy Spirit works and resides only in those who believe in the beautiful gospel of sin removal achieved through John’s baptism of Jesus and His blood on the cross.


Do you desire to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit?

Do you know what gospel you must have to receive the holy indwelling of the Holy Spirit and to commune with Him?

That beautiful gospel lies in faith in the baptism Jesus received from John and His blood shed on the cross.

Without believing in the beautiful gospel of water and the Spirit, the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in your heart because of sin.

The Holy Spirit urges people to believe in the gospel of water and the Spirit so that He may dwell within them.


It is said that the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in sinners.

If you wish to host the Holy Spirit in your heart, you must first cleanse all your sins by believing in the beautiful gospel.

Additionally, those who desire fellowship with the Holy Spirit must always remain faithful to this beautiful gospel.

Those who seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit must love and strive to spread this beautiful gospel as they live their lives.

The Holy Spirit is with those who powerfully preach the gospel of water and the Spirit.


The indwelling of the Holy Spirit belongs only to the righteous who believe in this beautiful gospel.

Only those who believe in this gospel can have fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

The righteous are constantly communing with the Holy Spirit through the Word of this beautiful gospel.

The beautiful gospel acknowledged by the Holy Spirit is the gospel of salvation accomplished through Jesus’ baptism by John and His blood on the cross (1 John 5:3–7).

As Peter, Jesus’ disciple, said in 1 Peter 3:21, “There is also an antitype which now saves us — baptism” he too believed in this beautiful gospel.

In Scripture, ‘water’ refers to Jesus’ baptism by John.


A person who has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is someone who has received the remission of sins by believing in the beautiful gospel and has been freed from all sin.

Those who believe in the beautiful gospel can worship God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit helps the righteous who believe in the beautiful gospel to live a life filled with the Spirit.

Those who have the Holy Spirit in their hearts can praise the Lord and live eternally.


The Holy Spirit is the One who ultimately confirms that we are children of God.

We can live forever in the Word of the gospel of water and the Spirit given by God and in the Holy Spirit.

Do you truly desire to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit?

However, if even the smallest sin remains in your heart, the Holy Spirit cannot indwell in your heart because He is the Holy Spirit.


Therefore, Jesus received baptism (water) from John the Baptist, taking upon Himself all the sins of the world, including your sins (Matthew 3:13–17), shed His blood on the Cross as the price for those sins and received judgment in our place (Romans 6:23), and by His resurrection from death, He completely removed all the sins of this world, including your sins. Those who believe in this fact by faith and have no sin in their hearts receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

(1 John 5:5–8)

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.

Rather than following confusing signs such as false miracles and tongues, I hope you will become one who receives complete remission of sins in your heart and has fellowship with the Holy Spirit through faith that believes in the beautiful ‘gospel of water, blood, and the Spirit’ spoken of in the Bible.

Baptism That Save Us Through Jesus' Baptism Among Three Types of Baptisms Recorded in the Bible [ Bible Study 1]

Image
  The Meaning of Three Types of Baptisms Recorded in the Bible There are three types of baptisms in the Bible: John the Baptist’s baptism for repentance, Jesus’ baptism from John the Baptist, and the water baptism received by believers. 1. Jesus’ Baptism from John the Baptist First, the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist in the Jordan River was, just as sins were imputed to sacrificial offerings through laying on of hands in the Old Testament, a baptism He received as the Lamb of God to have all the sins of humanity imputed to Him. This was the beginning of God’s just plan of salvation, and through baptism, Jesus took upon Himself all the sins of the world in a just manner through imputation. ‘But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit ...

The Only Way to Heaven is Through Faith in Jesus Christ Who Came by Water, Blood, and the Spirit [Christian Testimony 31]

Image
Jesus was baptized to take away all the sins of the world, and He had to die on the cross, shedding His blood to pay the price for all sins that were transferred to Him through His baptism. Therefore, I have no sin in my heart because I believe in the baptism and blood of our Lord Jesus who is 100% God. The problem of daily sins and future sins that we commit due to our weakness can be solved by our faith in confessing our sins before God and believing that Jesus came to this world, already took away all our sins through His baptism, and eliminated them all by shedding His blood on the cross. Before believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, the sins in my heart kept tormenting me, and I lived in fear of going to hell if I died. Although I believed in Jesus, I had sin before I encountered Pastor Jong’s sermon book “Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” , before I believed in the true gospel of the water and the Spirit. Back then, I didn’t understand the me...

Can We Receive the Holy Spirit Through Human Effort or the Laying on of Hands? [New Book Release]

Image
Introduction to Pastor Paul C. Jong’s book series, ‘HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT? [New Revised Edition] (English 3-Volume Series) Today, within Christianity, charismatic denominations are mainstream. But through what is the Holy Spirit given? Is it received through one’s fervent prayer or fasting, or through supernatural experiences such as speaking in tongues received by the laying on of hands at revival meetings that pursue the fullness of the Holy Spirit? No, it is not. The Holy Spirit is not received through one’s own efforts or experiences from the laying on of hands, but is a gift from God given to those who have received the removal of sins through faith in the gospel of water and the Spirit, which is the gospel of God’s truth. The content below is recorded in the third book, “HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT?” , among the many books written by God’s servant Pastor Paul C.
