Does the death of Jesus Christ on the cross for you make you want his salvation? Does it give you hope that God might save you through Jesus, now that Jesus is raised by God to live forever? If so, you have the seeds of eternal life within you. You need to nurture this. The way God uses to reach out to those who reach out to Him is by giving the Holy Spirit. You need to confess your need of this way, and seek it. In the Lord’s Prayer, known to so many, it mentions seeking “our daily bread” from the Father in heaven. The Holy Spirit is like bread we can receive from God each day, whether in inspired dreams or visions, or words of living spirit welling up within us, or sudden moments of faith in God, or other “gifts of the spirit” as they are called, “grace gifts”. If you want the salvation of Jesus Christ and are prepared to walk in his way, holding to what comes from him, you can do so by living in this way of spirit. Jesus showed this way by giving words of spirit to his hearers, which transformed their lives, saving them. The Holy Spirit continues to impart such living words of spirit, and powerful lessons of spirit, to bring us the Lord Jesus Christ’s salvation, daily. Ask God for this. Seek it very earnestly. Then live by the spirit God imparts. The teaching words of Jesus and those sent by Jesus are spirit and have power to save if we adhere to them. We need daily bread of spirit from the Father too. Pray, asking, and believe He will give. Then live by what He gives.
