Summary
In “The Second Coming of the Holy Spirit,” the family discuss a growing outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the faith required to participate in it. They describe salvation as the beginning of a continuing walk with God in which the Holy Spirit transforms believers, brings forth the nature of Christ, and teaches them to live for the Father. The conversation also considers how worldwide hardship can expose the temporary nature of earthly security and awaken people to their need for God. Ultimately, the speakers see the Holy Spirit working in individuals, the Body of Christ, and all creation as God’s plan moves toward its culmination.Show Notes
