And a lot of times, we've seen the holy spirit as a badge or a reward for our righteousness. the truth is none of us is good enough to qualify for anything god has. Amen.

Peter says, he says, he says, be back, be baptized, water baptized in the name of repent, be baptized in water, and you shall receive thy gift. Yes. The holy ghost. Not the badge, not the reward, the gift of the holy ghost. Just like salvation is a gift. Yes. The holy ghost is a gift that Jesus has made available. He purchased it, not you. Amen.

It's about being raised alive, raised to life on the inside. [01:02:16] (37 seconds)  #RaisedWithChrist Download clip
