(43) "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’ (44) But I tell you this: Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you. (45) In this way you show that you are children of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun rise on people whether they are good or evil. He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust. (46) If you love those who love you, do you deserve a reward? Even the tax collectors do that! (47) Are you doing anything remarkable if you welcome only your friends? Everyone does that! (48) That is why you must be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.
-- Words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 5:43-48 (GWT)
The Holy Spirit must dwell in the Christian, bringing us to the full experience of the life of God.
-- Andrew Murray
Because Holy God calls us to inward holiness, a continuous work of the Holy Spirit of God within us is absolutely necessary.
-- William Law paraphrased
Come, Holy Spirit, I need Thee!
Grateful
