Forgiveness of sins would be followed by the gift of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:3838Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38). Such came to pass in Acts 10:43-4443To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. (Acts 10:43‑44). I am sure that if I have received remission of my sins by believing in Christ, I have, as a consequence, received the Holy Spirit. This being so, I need no further experience to know that I am united to Christ, for it is the Holy Spirit dwelling in me who effects this. The experience will follow the consciousness of relationship and will be enjoyed in the cultivation of the things suited to His presence. From Christian Truth, Vol. 17:99
