As we conclude our series about living like Jesus, we will explore the question: What is God’s plan for the world? When Jesus was preparing to go to the cross, he spoke with his disciples and told them that he would send the Holy Spirit. The reality is, the Holy Spirit dwells in the believer to strengthen them and empower them to live the life God has called them to live.
