Work of the Holy Spirit:

        

            Gives life:  

2 Corinthians 3:6
6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

            The world gives death, but His Spirit gives us life. Too many Christians are living under the letter of the “Law”. Now I don’t mean the Jewish Law (though there are some who try to do even that). I mean the “Law” of “I mustn’t do this and I must do that”. Many times these are actually very good things to do and very bad things to not do. But the driving force behind them is not to do the things pleasing unto God; rather, to try to win God’s favor by doing the good and not doing the bad. There is no life in trying to do things according to some letter of the “Christian Law”. The life is in doing things because we love God and want to please Him because He loves us.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You have life through My Spirit who indwells you. In the world, you had death; but in Me you have life and that more abundantly. It is not just existence, but true life. It is an abundant life that will more than meet your needs. You need never fear death for I am your life. In Me you shall be more than conquerors. My life is one of freedom. My life is not a prison, but a freedom to rejoice in Me.”

            46. The indwelling Holy Spirit gives life to me. The world gives me death, but He gives me life.
