2. 1st Nine Were Things, “We” Had To Do.

In The Familiar Words Of Matthew 28:20 Yahoshua Says, “…Lo, I Am With You Always, Even To The End Of The Age”. How Is Yahoshua With Us Until The End Of The Age?  Once Again, It Is Through The Spirit.  Galatians 2:20 Says, “I Have Been Crucified With Christ; And It Is No Longer I Who Live, But Christ Lives In Me”.  How Does Christ Live In Us?  Through The Holy Spirit~!  In Two Places The Holy Spirit Is Actually Referred To As “The Spirit Of Christ”, (Romans 8:9; 1 Peter 1:11).  1 Corinthians 15:45 Says It This Way: “So Also It Is Written, ‘The First Man, Adam, Became A Living Soul.’ The Last Adam Became A Life-Giving Spirit”.  Yahoshua Is Referred To As A Life-Giving Spirit.  What Does This Mean?  Yahoshua Lived His Life And Now Comes Back To Us, Not In Body But In Spirit, That Is, In The Holy Spirit, Who Is The Giver Of Spiritual Life To Us.

11. The Holy Ghost Is The Personality Who Can Only Dwell In Those Who Believed And Received Yahoshua. The Holy Spirit Is The Spirit Of God Which Came On Mary To Conceive Yahoshua. The Holy Ghost Is The Permanent Presence Of Yahoshua As A Resurrected Body In You, (John 14:20; Revelation 3:20).
