How does one receive the Spirit of God according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

One receives the Spirit of God through faith in the gospel, not by works or merits.

According to Galatians 3:2-5, the Spirit is received by hearing the gospel and believing in Christ. It’s emphasized that it is by divine grace and the hearing of faith, not through adherence to the law or one’s own efforts. The transformative work of the Spirit leads to regeneration, enabling believers to have faith and receive the righteousness of God. This underscores the centrality of faith in the believer's experience and the workings of the Spirit.
