Aug 17, 2026 · 33m

Summary

David Diga Hernandez explains how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to overcome sin nature through six key actions: remaining present after failure, fostering a love for Scripture, creating a desire for holiness, rescuing from temptation, providing conviction, and freeing from guilt. He emphasizes that the Spirit is the source, not the reward, of holiness and that spiritual struggle proves the Spirit’s active work within a believer. The message encourages reliance on the Spirit’s power rather than human willpower to achieve progressive sanctification and Christ-like character.
