Part 12 – What It Means To Prepare for the 2nd Coming of Our Lord & Savior, Jesus
For those in darkness or living in their sinful ways as though that is the norm, just in case they encounter or are referred to this series of posts in FB, Parts 1 to 11 should clarify what ought to be done in order to be “saved”. Thereafter, Part 12 and next Parts will be important for advancing the interest of Faith in God through Jesus Christ.
Redundant or habitual sinners do not enjoy the blessings of The Holy Spirit. Instead, they are convicted for their evil deeds, evil ways, and evil lives. Even in their sleep, troubles will surround their thoughts. For example, I am aware of a group of people today who cannot find the Wisdom to solve problems meant for their roles to discover. If they find a solution, it turns out to be very temporary or short lived. Why ? Only God provides great Wisdom whereas human wisdom without the blessings of God, is foolishness in the eyes of the Lord. For the worldly sinners, the presence of the Holy Spirit will be limited to convictions against their sins.
1 Corinthians 3:19 ESV English Standard Version
“
For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”
John 16:8 ISV International Standard Version
“When He comes, He will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—”
God wants Man’s soul to be holy and rewards the holy person with the blessings and power of the Holy Spirit. To better appreciate this knowledge coming from the Scripture, a person “of God’s Spirit” realizes implications of having the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
God gives the Holy Spirit to lead people, like in the life of Joshua. (Numbers 27:18)
The Holy Spirit is the Righteous Instruction that guided Moses and the chosen people of God. (Nehemia 9:20)
Job was gifted with the Holy Spirit to understand the Will of God even in his time of trials. (Job 32:8)
Those who have studied Words of God very carefully would know the many wonderful graces that money cannot buy and which can only come from the Holy Spirit. It is, in fact, only through the blessings of the Holy Spirit that Man can become closer to the image of God (which was God’s original plan when Man was created).
