John 1-3

"For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit." (John 3:34, NIV)

The words of Jesus are the words of God. Jesus came to reveal God to humanity. Many people would not accept the words Jesus spoke. They rejected Him. They rejected His message. Though He was God, though it was through Him that all things were made, people did not recognize Him as the Son of God. Those who do receive Him, those who believe that He is the Son of God, He gives the right to become children of God.

 Just as Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, God gives the Spirit without limit to all who call on the name of Jesus. Luke wrote that God gives the Holy Spirit to all who ask. Jesus said those who believe in Him, out of them will flow rivers of living water will flow from within them.

There is no limit to how much of God’s Spirit we receive. He wants to fill us, to guide us, to support us, to shape us into the image of Jesus. If we are willing God will give us all of Him we want. He will work in our lives and amaze us as He does immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine. How much of God’s Spirit do you want in your life?
