The Sanctification of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22) - Through the powerful working and indwelling of the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead, Christians can and will put to death sin and put on Christ, which results in bearing Christ-shaped fruit for God.
The Illumination of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:13) - Through the indwelling and powerful working of the Spirit, Christians can understand, believe, and obey God’s life-giving Word.
