The role of the Holy Spirit
The name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen.
Let’s get back to our program faith capsules.
Now we know that Christ, the Son of God and the Son of man, has the divine nature and human nature in him. He offered his humanity at the sacrifice to redeem everyone. And he offered this salvation freely to all generations. He gave us also the power of resurrection to have a new life forever with him. Now, how can we take all these blessings? What is Holy Baptism?
That’s the role of the Holy Spirit to dwell inside our hearts. That’s the new covenant. That’s the gift for his people. Those who believe in him and the Holy Trinity, whoever believes in his incarnation and redemption are ready to be new. With the holy spirit in their hearts. That’s the sign of these saved people, redeemed people.
Holy spirit in us, God will dwell inside us. That’s the sacrament, the holy sacrament. That’s why we need a church. A church is not only like a place, a church, like a system to deliver salvation to everyone who asks for it. Everyone where called to have the salvation and the spirit of God, ready to dwell upon any heart accepting the truth.
So the church of God, starting from the apostles of the new covenant, speaking the truth, giving the true knowledge about God, were ready to give the Holy Spirit given to them, to anyone who believes in God, who believes in the real God, in the truth given by God.
Holy Baptism and Holy Myron
The church’s work in the new covenant is through the Holy Sacrament. It started with Holy Baptism. So we have to be born again because we were born of our mothers. We were born to die. Our mothers can never save us for eternity. Because we will die. But we have a new life through Holy Baptism.
Our Godfather will offer us eternity. Because that’s his gift to his children. So we have to be born again; that’s the Holy Baptism in the church by the church-ordained priest.
So we believe in the Holy Baptism as to be born again. We will have the gift of the Myron, the oil of Myron, which is like the oil of the holy spirit. Now we become the altars of the holy spirit.
We can say that we are the chosen people of God. Now we can say the kingdom of heaven came to our hearts. We are his people, kingdom, and his family.
So, now we can pray “Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.”
With the gift of the Holy Baptism and the Holy Myron, now we are different from anyone on earth! Now there are two different entities. The first entity is the people who are still following Adam and Eve. The second entity is the church people, who are following the new Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ.
So the new people are the chosen ones. And when we say chosen, because they chose to follow Christ because God’s will is to have all the world’s people inside his church. Inside his kingdom. He came to die for everyone. but, the offer is not accepted by many people. These are the world’s people.
So you will be like one member in the world or one member in the church. By following the church, you will have eternal life following the world. You will die like others.
May God bless you all.
