Chapter-16 The spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit shower their spiritual gifts on us. When we receive the sacrament of Baptism God the Father sends the Holy Spirit as our Advocate. The Holy Spirit teaches us to avoid committing sin and he guides us towards heaven. We should pray with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is our Advocate
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you. - John 14:16-17
The Holy Spirit will teach us the word of God
I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. -John 14:18, 26
The permanent home that we get from God is in heaven. In order that we may attain life in heaven, God has prepared us and has given us his Holy Spirit. Jesus the Lord showers the Holy Spirit on us. Having received the Holy Spirit, he guides us to avoid sin and live a holy life. He saves us from the fire of hell.
The spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit showers on us his seven spiritual gifts, wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety and the fear of God which give us the benefits of heaven. He releases us from the clutches of satan and the clutches of sin. He grants us the gift of tongues and the grace to live in love. In whatever state of life we may be in, in whatever sin we may be, if we repent and come to the Lord Jesus, he will definitely accept us. He forgives our sins. He sends the Holy Spirit to us who reveals the truth. The Holy Spirit teaches us the living word of Jesus the Lord, reminds us and guides us as to how to live a life of love on this earth. The Holy Spirit guides us to live in heaven eternally. The Holy Spirit grants us the grace, so that at the time of our death our soul could be born in heaven and live.
The fruits of the Holy Spirit
The fruits of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. - Galatians 5:22, 23
The Holy spirit gives us immense happiness through his fruits. He will take us to heaven; We will live forever in heaven; We will live in communion with the holy saints.
