Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob and Shawn will be responding to a question sent in by one of our listeners. What was it like for Old Testament saints, without the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit? Bob will unpack his acronym "RIBS," which helps to understand the different roles the Holy Spirit performs. "R" stands for "regeneration." "I" stands for the permanent "indwelling" of the Spirit, that church age believers receive at the moment of faith. "B" stands for the "baptism" of the Spirit into the body of Christ. "S" stands for the "sealing" of the Holy Spirit. Bob will address all these functions on this episode. We hope you find the conversation helpful.
