Our memory verse of today reveals another very important role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer – preserving us unto the day of redemption. ‘The day of redemption’ in the memory verse is talking of the ultimate redemption when we safely arrive in the Kingdom of God. The reason is that there is no eternal assurance that once you are saved, you are forever saved. There are examples of people who started well but ended badly. For instance, after King Saul was ordained by Samuel, he prophesied and the people asked:“Is Saul also among the prophets?” (). Unfortunately, after King Saul got into trouble for disobeying divine instructions, he went after a familiar spirit. says:
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
King Saul did this despite the fact that the Bible says in :
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
In , we see that the Holy Spirit guides us into all - not some - truth. Many things we ought to know about God, our Saviour, ourselves, the written word of God, the devil, and the world in which we live and so on are explained to us by the Holy Spirit. We cannot gain an understanding of God without the Holy Spirit. The word of God would be ordinary literature without the Holy Spirit’s illumination.
The Bible says in that the Holy Spirit will show us things to come.
The spiritual decadence in the end-time Church has been foretold by the Holy Spirit (). It is a pity, however, that some children of God are not taking advantage of the Holy Spirit’s guidance to keep us from falling. May you not fall, in Jesus’ name.
