The work maintains that mankind was created in God’s image for greatness, fellowship with God, meaningful work, moral freedom, and loving relationship, but lost that greatness through Adam’s disobedience and the entrance of sin into the world. Christian contends that the Fall brought suffering, moral depravity, death, alienation from God, and brokenness into human experience, while also showing the need for divine grace and redemption. Drawing heavily from Genesis 1-3 and Romans 5:12-21, the book contrasts Adam, through whom sin and death entered the human race, with Christ, the second Adam, through whom righteousness, grace, abundant life, and eternal hope are offered. Christian emphasizes that human beings cannot regain their lost greatness by self-effort, moral pride, or independence from God, but only by repentance, faith, surrender, and receiving Christ’s righteousness. The central message is that the agony caused by sin can be replaced by the ecstasy Christ brings, because where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/come-holy-spirit/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://clmbooks.org/more-devotional-books/come-holy-spirit/COME HOLY SPIRIT is a devotional study by Ron Christian on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The book presents the Spirit as the Spirit of Truth who reveals, interprets, and applies God’s truth to believers, while also convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Christian maintains that the Holy Spirit exposes unbelief and inward sin, points people to the righteousness of Christ, and confirms that evil has already been judged through Christ’s victory. The work also emphasizes the Spirit’s ministry to Christians, especially in giving courage, strength, joy, friendship, enlightenment, peace, cleansing, comfort, and power for faithful service. Through Scripture, devotional reflection, prayers, and hymns, the book calls believers to welcome the Spirit’s transforming presence and to live with deeper holiness, truth, confidence, and dependence upon God.
