The Holy Spirit

"'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6).

What does God's Holy Spirit do for us as Christians? This question goes to the heart of our religious beliefs, because without the power of God's Spirit we can have no deep, close relationship with the Father, nor can we become His children. It is because the Spirit dwells in us that we are called the children of God (Romans 8:14-17).
