As we continue our study on the Holy Spirit, we’re reminded today that true spiritual growth in Jesus Christ is impossible apart from the Spirit’s work in our lives. In Romans 8:13, the apostle Paul urges us to put to death the deeds of the flesh and live according to the Spirit. Our journey of sanctification depends entirely on Him. But take heart, dear friends—we’re not alone. We have the Holy Spirit—our Helper, our constant Companion, our Friend—dwelling within us.
