onderful to know that all was clear between
God and me. I could sleep better and it was wonderful to know that if
death overtook me I would be ready to go.

When I realized that I needed to be sanctified, or the sin principle
needed to be cleansed out of my heart, I sought the Lord to give me the
Holy Spirit. You can't ask forgiveness for the sin that passed down upon
all men from the fall, or the sin of Adam and Eve. It has to be cleansed
out of your heart by the purging of the Holy Spirit. There are two works
in the heart. First we are saved from our volitional sins and then we
are sanctified or cleansed of that sin principle or carnal nature. Peter
speaks of some receiving the Holy Spirit and said, "purifying their
hearts by faith." God had given "them the Holy Ghost." Acts 15:8,9. Then
we can have power over all the power of the devil. The works of the
devil are destroyed out of our hearts. Praise God forever! It is a
wonderful experience.

Oh, how we love our Lord and Saviour for all that He has done for us!
How sad we would be if He had not come to this world to take our
punishment. How thankful we are for the Holy Spirit that was promised to
us after Jesus went away. He told His disciples that the Holy Spirit, or
the Comforter, could not come unless He went to the Father. (John 14).

We read how God gave the disciples the Holy Spirit, after Jesus arose
into the skies, after His resurrection from the grave. In Acts, second
chapter, they were waiting in the upper room and the Holy Spirit came
upon them and God performed a miracle. They spoke the wonderful news and
17 or 18 different nations heard about it in their own language. It was
on the day of Pentecost when people from all of these nations had come
to the temple to worship God. Many of them believed on Jesus as the
promised Saviour, were saved from their sins, and were filled with the
Holy Spirit. It's a glorious experience and is for everyone who has been
saved from sin.

Sins Named

My grandson, let us look at the Bible and see some sins that are
mentioned.

In Galatians 5:19 we read that adultery is a sin. In verse 21 it is
clearly stated that "they that do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God." So there is no doubt about these sins. _Adultery_
means, "violation of the marriage-bed." Romans 7:2,3 says "For the woman
which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he
liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed
