What does the Bible say about divine anointing?

Answered in 1 source

The divine anointing signifies the Holy Spirit's presence and empowerment in a believer's life, as reflected in Psalm 23:5.

In Psalm 23:5, the anointing signifies God's provision and His blessing on believers, which is made manifest through the Holy Spirit. This divine anointing is not merely an external act but rather a spiritual reality that points to the empowerment and indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the lives of God's people. As David was anointed by Samuel, so all believers are spiritually anointed by the Holy Spirit, empowering them to live according to God's will and to fulfill His purposes in their lives. The anointing is closely associated with the work of salvation and the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit in teaching, convincing of sin, and pointing to Christ as the Savior.
