1 Corinthians 2:11
King James Version
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God.
Is the SPIRIT of GOD in you?
How can you tell?
How do we know for sure God's Spirit is in us?
What does the Bible say?
These verses verse say it all:
Job 33:4
King James Version
4 The spirit of God hath made me,
and the breath of the Almighty
hath given me life.
Acts 5:32
King James Version
32 And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Ghost,
whom God hath given to them that obey him.
1 John 3:24
King James Version
24 And he that keepeth his commandments
dwelleth in him, and he in him.
And hereby we know that he abideth in us,
by the Spirit which he hath given us.
If you are born of GOD, His Spirit dwells in you.
His Spirit would run strong in you.
But who are born of GOD?
Scripture has the answers.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
1 John 3:9
King James Version
9 Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin;
for his seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin,
because he is born of God.
1 John 3:10
King James Version
10 In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness
is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 3:11
King James Version
11 For this is the message that ye heard
from the beginning,
that we should love one another.
In SUMMARY, we know God's Spirit is in us, for these reasons:
1. We believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.
2. We keep God's commandments.
3. We know, through the Spirit which God has given us.
4. We are born again.
5. We do not commit sin.
6. We are righteous.
7. We love one another.
Obviously, if we run contrary to the will of God, we are not born of God.
Galatians 5:17
King James Version
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
