• Fellowship with the Holy Spirit also leads believers into fellowship with one another, creating unity, love, and one purpose.
• The Holy Spirit is not merely a force because He knows, teaches, speaks, guides, and works according to His will.

• He dwells in believers and makes them temples of God, showing how personally God desires to be present in our lives.
• The Spirit gives spiritual gifts so that every believer can contribute to the strengthening and mission of the church.
• He gives new life and freedom in Christ, changing the heart and helping us live according to God’s will.
• When the Spirit works in you, selfishness loses its power, and you become more willing to serve God and care for people who need His love.
• The Holy Spirit therefore strengthens the church not only through spiritual gifts, but also by changing believers into people who live, serve, and love like Christ.
