Embracing the Holy Spirit's Call to Salvation

In today's message, we explored the profound truth of the Holy Spirit's role in affirming the identity and mission of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit's power is evident through miraculous acts such as casting out demons and healing the blind, which serve as divine confirmation of Jesus' identity as the Son of God. Rejecting this clear demonstration of the Holy Spirit's work is a grave matter, as it signifies a rejection of the ultimate evidence of Jesus' divine nature. However, there is hope and assurance for those who fear they may have committed this rejection. If you are concerned about having rejected the Holy Spirit's testimony, it is a sign that you have not done so. The very fact that you are worried indicates an openness to the Spirit's work in your life. Therefore, the call is clear: now is the time for salvation. Embrace the opportunity to come to Christ, assured that His grace is available to you.
