CHRISTIANS ARE SPIRITUALLY BAPTIZED

We are Divinely baptized by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit who bears witness with our spirits, to overcome fear through faith and be led by Him as Children of God adopted by grace, which keeps us separated from sin, to dwell in the presence of God (John 3:5, Rom. 8:14-16). The baptism of water is solely for repentance, while that of the Spirit affirms our unity in the Body of Christ (Matt. 3:11, 1 Cor. 12:13).
Moreover, God's Word, who is the Living Water which removes our thirst and washes away our guilt, so we may be deserving of the Holy Spirit whom He gave to us in order to grow spiritually as one born of the Father (Is. 44:3-5).

PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my Friend, and Lover of my soul, thank You for favoring me with the Gift of the Holy Spirit, even as You cleanse me from all guilt and stains, to dwell in the comfort of Your presence, forever. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for in You I am refreshed to glorify the Father all the days of my life;
Amen.

From Acts 11:16
