: Regenerated, Renewed, Indwelled, Sanctified, Sealed, Baptized, Gifted,
Helper, Filling, Fellowship, Leading, Walking, Fruits, Confirms, Teaching, and
Worship. (What a cool list! But, also a humbling list. A needy list for Believers.)

Indwelled
- 1 Corinthians 6:19 Or
do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
Sanctified - 2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we should always give thanks to God for you,

Sealed - Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy
Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Baptized - 1 Corinthians 12:12 For even as the body
is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though
they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were
all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and
we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
Gifted - 1 Corinthians 12:11 But one and the same
Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He
wills.
Helper - John 14:16 "And I will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because
it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides
with you, and will be in you.
Filling - Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is
dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
Fellowship - Philippians 2:1 If therefore there is any
encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any
fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
Leading - Galatians
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
Walking - Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the
Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
Fruits - Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law.
Confirms - Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by
the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you have not received a spirit
of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as
sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" 16 The Spirit Himself bears
witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
Teaching - 1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know
the things freely given to us by God, 13 which things we also speak, not in
words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining
spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
Worship - Philippians 3:3 for we are the true circumcision,
who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no
confidence in the flesh,

quench the Spirit;
Grieve - Ephesians 4:30 And do not

trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded
as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has
insulted the Spirit of grace?
