Receiving the Spirit

Dr. Alan Hawkins

Luke 11:1–14

The Christian life can be summarized in two words:

• Receiving

• Giving

Acts 1:8 & Acts 2:38

Three words that summarize our relationship to God’s Holy Spirit:

• With

• In

• Upon

John 14:15–17 & Acts 1:8

A good father knows how to give good gifts to his children.

RECEIVE!

“And Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you, as the Father has sent me, even so, I am sending you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said: ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’” (John 20:21 ESV).
