OBEY AND RECEIVE

And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him (Acts 5:32, NRSV).

OBEY AND RECEIVE

Some think they need not do God’s will, if they do not believe.
The Bible says those who obey, the Spirit then receive.
So faith will come to those who do what God’s laws would demand,
and when the Holy Spirit is received, they understand.
Obedience delayed does not result in faith, I’ve found;
for with the Holy Spirit it’s the other way around!
