I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

until the Spirit from heaven is poured out on us.
Then the desert will become an orchard,
and the orchard will seem like a forest.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants
and My blessing on your offspring.

They will fear the name of Yahweh in the west
and His glory in the east;
for He will come like a rushing stream
driven by the wind of the Lord.

“Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days”—the Lord’s declaration. “I will put My teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.

“I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put fear of Me in their hearts so they will never again turn away from Me.

And I will give them one heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh,

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

After this

I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity;
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your old men will have dreams,
and your young men will see visions.

“Then I will pour out a spirit

of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at Me whom they pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps for a firstborn.

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

And look, I am sending you what My Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered

from on high.”

He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been received

because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

While He was together with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father’s promise. “This,” He said, “is what you heard from Me;

Therefore, since He has been exalted to the right hand of God and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, He has poured out what you both see and hear.

We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them, just as on us at the beginning.

You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

He has also sealed us and given us the Spirit as a down payment in our hearts.

When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit,

And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by Him for the day of redemption.

By obedience to the truth, having purified yourselves for sincere love of the brothers, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

These people create divisions and are unbelievers,

not having the Spirit.

See, today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and adversity.

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

So those who have faith are blessed with Abraham, who had faith.
