"The Spirit's Confirmation"
Reading: Acts 15:12-21; Romans 8:14-17
The Holy Spirit doesn't arrive after you've earned enough spiritual merit points. The Spirit comes as God's seal of approval, confirming that you already belong to Him. In Acts 15, the apostles pointed to the Spirit's presence among the Gentiles as undeniable proof of God's acceptance—before circumcision, before law-keeping, before cultural conformity. The Spirit leads us toward freedom, not heavier burdens. When condemnation whispers that you haven't prayed enough, given enough, or lived well enough, remember: the Spirit's presence in your life is God's "yes" over you. You are His child, not because of your performance, but because of His promise. Let the Spirit's witness silence the accuser's voice. You are sealed, secure, and deeply loved.
