21Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
The Spirit of Christ is in you if you know and obey His commands! He gives you a new nature that is undeniably different. You will look at people in a whole new way! You will see the need for the love of all who are lost! I am not saying you will not sin, for as long as we are in this mortal body, we will have a sin nature. But you will repent, you will not stay in your sin.
Lord, help us to deny self. Help us to yield to You everyday. Show us the way to love people as You first loved us. Amen
John 20:27-31
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
