How can anyone attempt to live as God intended without relying on the Holy Spirit? He is involved in everything we do for God. God knew we needed Him. That’s why Jesus rose from the dead so that we might walk in newness of life through His Spirit. If He had just died for our sins, we would have had forgiveness; but without Him rising from the dead and giving us the Holy Spirit, we couldn’t begin to become what God intended. We were destined to have the Holy Spirit in our lives.
