In whose heart does the Holy Spirit indwell? The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is not achieved through human effort or accomplishment. Only those who believe in the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’ and receive the removal of sins in their hearts by faith can receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Those who truly meet the Lord come to know that He has saved us from all sins through water and blood, and thus can live a blessed life as God’s people in this world, along with the blessing of eternal life.

Those who believe in Jesus Christ are no longer slaves to sin. This is because Jesus has already paid the price for all our sins through His baptism and blood.

Through whom can we believe in Jesus? It is through John the Baptist. We must properly understand and believe in the reason why John the Baptist was born as recorded in the four Gospels, who he was, and his ministry, so that we can clearly know and believe in the Gospel of salvation that Jesus has accomplished for us.

The Apostle John makes clear the gospel in his first Epistle: “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. — ASV” (1 John 5:6–7).

God grants the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to those who believe in the Word of truth — the Word of water and Spirit — through which He works. This truth declares that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit occurs only for those who believe in the Word of salvation through the removal of sin, accomplished by the baptism and bloodshed Jesus received when He came to this earth.

Do you really believe that you are becoming righteous gradually by repenting every day? Salvation is to be justified once for all and to receive salvation once for all by faith in the work accomplished by Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that the way to overcome the world, that is Satan, is through faith in Jesus Christ who came by water and blood.

Those who think they have no sin cannot be saved. How can one be saved from sin if there is no sin to be removed? Why would a doctor be needed if one is not sick?

Why did God love Jacob? Jacob knew he had no righteousness and acknowledged his shortcomings, so he confessed that he was a sinner before God and sought God’s grace. Therefore, God called Jacob and saved him.
