Scriptural Encouragement & Exhortation   Titus 3:4-7 …and renewing by the Holy Spirit whom He poured out…   But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior…Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water." But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses…I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you…In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory…you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you…Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised…But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.   (Tit 3:4-6; Joh 7:37-39; Act 1:8; Joh 14:16, 17; Eph 1:13, 14; Rom 8:9-11; 1Co 2:12-14; 2Co 3:18)   SEE’s are compiled by Chuck Long using Scriptures from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE.  SEE’s are emailed without cost to those who would like to receive them.  You are permitted and encouraged to reproduce and distribute this material in any format provided that you do NOT alter the wording in any way, and you do not charge a fee for them.  Freely you have received, freely give.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and God will be very pleased with your honesty!  Thanks.
