When we have turned from sin by repentance, have our sins washed away by baptism in the name of Jesus, and have received the gift of His Spirit, we have access to the ways of God that we did not have before.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." - Romans 8:14 KJV
By His Spirit, we can feel love for the unlovable, strength
in temptation, forgiveness for the unforgiveable, patience in turmoil, wisdom
and direction in the midst of confusion, and joy and peace no matter what the
situation. The key is to stay full of His Spirit.
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." - John 15:5
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." - James 3:16-17
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7
"And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost." - Acts 13:52
