The
ultimate evidence that one is yielded to
th
e
Holy Spirit is a persistent exercise of
being
honest and pure in motive and method (1
Peter 1:22). No Christian can
be pure and honest by simply submitting
to regulations. It requires
transformation (Romans
12: 1,2). God does not change
our human nature at salvation... He
changed our heredity... thus, making
sanctification by the Holy Spirit a
reality.
Our
advantage as Christians in this world
that is deliberately hostile to Christ
is not in doing a great work for God...
it is God working in us (Ephesians
3:20). When we are yielded to
the Holy Ghost, honesty and
purity
will triumph over the inclination for
self-vindication and preservation and
demonstrate the very life and likeness
of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
