While Christ’s work on the cross,
the shedding of His blood, was the only way to settle the problem of guilt,
sin, and condemnation, the coming of the promised HOLY SPIRIT was GOD’s way of
changing human beings from the inside out.
The law given to Moses had failed on this very point. It was in itself holy and just, but the
problem was the sinful nature within people.
Now HOLY SPIRIT dwelling in the hearts of believers would conquer the
age-old dilemma of “I want to be different but can’t. I know what’s wrong—but I keep doing it
anyway.” This empowerment by HOLY SPIRIT
would be the dynamic source throughout time for all who live and labor for
Jesus Christ.
[From the book, “Fresh Power,” by
Jim Cymbala]
By-the-way, this is the way
change comes to any man or woman, regardless of the sin issue, temptations or
longings.
