6. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
John 14: 16-17

7. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1: 13-14

8. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 Corinthians 1: 21-22

9. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
1 Corinthians 6: 19-20

10. Holy Spirit in us:
Conviction of sin
Counselor, comforter, advisor, encourager and guide
Adoption as God's children
God's witnesses
Led by fruit of the Spirit
Members of God's kingdom community
Promise for the future

11. Connecting
When the powerful life of Christ in one person meets the good life of Christ in another.
The center of everything.

12. Who are we? Where are we going?
"Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."
