“the ultimate tragedy that can befall a human is being overcome by sin. sin can claim our thoughts, desires and will. it can damn our soul and accounts for the loss of the intimate, indwelling communion between the holy spirit and the spirit of fallen mankind. jesus the god-man had a human spirit and soul and was indwelled by the holy spirit at his baptism by john the baptist. he lived in full obedience to the spirit’s counsel, even to his death on the cross. it was for this redemptive death that jesus entered into our human existence on earth. he came to save mankind from sin by his sacrifice on the cross to restore the indwelling by the spirit.”
