The Holy Spirit Of God

 The moment that we are born again, we are made a new creation in Christ. The second we are saved we are given a new nature, the resurrected life of Christ within. But also The Holy Spirit Of God comes to dwell in us to teach and train us, to guard and guide us, and He also disciplines, chastens, and corrects our new life in Christ.
 When our old body tries to carry out the Law through self-effort it tries to reform itself, but this is a self-righteousness that is unacceptable to God. All our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him. Our old sin nature is dead in trespasses and sins and is to remain nailed to the Cross of Christ. It is the new, born again life we received at salvation that must grow. God has given us all that we need for that new life to grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus, but we must do it God's way and not our way. We must be clothed in Christ's righteousness and not seek to cover ourselves in self-righteousness.
 We are to walk in spirit and truth guided by the Holy Spirit, and He will teach and train our new self which is being renewed, day by day, into even greater knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are new creations in Christ. Thank You that old things are done away with and all things have been made new in Him. We pray that we might walk in spirit and truth, submitting to the working of the Holy Spirit so that, day by day, we come to know You more and love You better. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
