Paul wrote, “And hope does not put
            us  to  shame,  because  God’s  love  has
            been poured out into our hearts through
            the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us”
            Romans 5:5.

                The  Holy  Spirit  gives  us  the  desire
            and  the  ability  to  overcome  things  that
            many of us would not be able to do on
            our own. And with His prompting, we find
            we  are  applying  God’s  way  of  doing
            things to our everyday lives, without even
            thinking about it.
                This is the result of a life guided by
            the Holy Spirit and the nature of Jesus:
                “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
                he is a new creation; the old has
                gone, the new has come.”
                2 Corinthians 5:17

            Righteousness
                Some people think being a Christian
            or a Believer in Jesus, the Christ, means
            their life will be full of “no’s.” In actuality,
