In other words, if I’m a genuine Christ-follower, I have available within me the same Holy Spirit who instructed, guided, and empowered Jesus and the early disciples.
And that means my spiritual growth isn’t so much the result of my hard work, intellect, and rigid self-discipline (all of which I could boast about). Instead, it’s the direct result of my willingness to listen and yield to the Spirit’s inner promptings as He works to change me from the inside out.
