The New Life

The Holy Ghost.
And then shall the Spirit who rebukes also comfort.
He will glorify Jesus in you, will take what is in
Jesus and make it known to you. He will give you
knowledge concerning the power of Jesus' blood to
cleanse,' and the power of Jesus' indwelling to keep.^
He will make you see how literally, how completely,
how certainly Jesus is with you every moment, to do
Himself all his own Jesus-work in you. Yea, in the
Holy Spirit, the living, almighty, and ever-present
Jesus shall be your portion
;
you shall also know
this, and have the full enjoyment of it. The Holy
Spirit will teach you to bring all your sin and sinfulness
to Jesus, and to know Jesus with His complete
redemption from sin as your own. As the Spirit of
sanctification, He will drive out sin in order that He
may cause Jesus to dwell in you.'
Beloved young Christian, take time to understand
and to become filled with the truth : the Holy Spirit
is in you. Review all the assurances of God's word
that this is so.* Pray, think not for a moment of
living as a Christian without the indwelling of the
Spirit. Take pains to have your heart filled with the
faith that the Spirit dwells in you, and will do His
mighty work, for through faith the Spirit comes and
works ^ Have a great reverence for the work of the
Spirit in you. Seek Him every day to believe, to
