Why is it important for Christians to have God's Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

God's Spirit is essential for a Christian's spiritual life and understanding of truth.

The Holy Spirit is not just a benefit but is vital for the Christian's spiritual existence. According to John 6:63, it is the Spirit that gives life, emphasizing that spiritual vitality comes solely through Him. Furthermore, without the Spirit, one cannot truly discern God's truth or be aligned with His will. As Jesus taught, it is by the Spirit that we worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24). Therefore, possessing God’s Spirit is fundamental for understanding Scripture, living out the Christian faith, and performing the works of God, as 1 Corinthians 12:13 notes that we are baptized into one body by one Spirit.
