ALPHA Session 7 -WHAT DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT DO?
We are all born into a human family. What benefits will we enjoy as children of our parents?
In the same way, the HOLY SPIRIT gives us a new birth into God's family.
What does it mean to be Sons & Daughters of God.
-We have complete forgiveness
In Romans 8:1-2
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
-We can be open and honest
Romans 8:16

We are one family, the same Holy Spirit lives inside of every Christian - regardless of nationality, church, age, location, HI, HH or Hearing.
5. God loves to give us gifts.
Each of God's children are different, so He gives different gifts to each child.
But don't waste it, instead, use these gifts to help the rest of the family.

The Holy Spirit is the breasth of God and helps God's family to grow
He gives us the power to live for Jesus

God loves us …
So much … unconditionally
There is nothing we could do more that would make Him love us more or nothing we could do too wrong to make Him loves us less.
He is our Heavenly Father …
He gave us the Holy Spirit so that He would be with us always and we would grow to be like Him
We only need to obey & desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit
Do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
