The Gift

 St Peter tells us that the Holy Spirit is God's gift to those who obey Him Acts 5 v 32. When we are baptised we receive the Holy Spirit, we become children of God, members of the church family, temples of the Holy Spirit, and are incorporated into the mystical body of Christ we are marked and sealed with an indelible seal which cannot be repeated. All other Christians of whatever persuasion then become our brothers and sisters.
