Day 3 The Father knows that His children need assistance to comply with His commands. Even Jesus Christ’s most faithful followers were, on their own, helpless to obey—for instance, Peter, who pledged to be loyal until death, denied even knowing Christ (Matthew 26:69-75). Before returning to heaven, Jesus ordered the disciples to put their missionary work on hold until the Holy Spirit arrived (Luke 24:49). Only with the Spirit’s aid could Peter, the coward, become Peter, the rock, and preach a challenging sermon that convicted many (Acts 2; see also Matthew 16:18). The Holy Spirit enters a Believer’s life at the moment of salvation and immediately sets about the work of producing spiritual fruit. This is the outward expression of a transformed heart. When we yield to God’s nurturing hand, our actions and attitudes become more loving, more joyful, kinder, gentler... (Galatians 5:22-23). He reaps a harvest of service from our life—good works that grow our own faith and expand His kingdom. #247daily
