The Helper Has Come - Zac Poonen
Summary
Jesus came not only to forgive sins but also to fill believers with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to be a source of 'Living Water' for others. The speaker explains that the Holy Spirit was not merely poured out externally, as in the Old Testament, but was given to dwell within the believer's innermost spirit after the veil was rent at the cross. Living in the New Covenant requires allowing the Spirit to dwell within to flow out continually, rather than living under the old covenant's system of fear, punishment, and reward.

Zac Poonen - For Children: The Holy Spirit Comes Inside us to Supply Our Every Need
Zac Poonen · Jan 24, 2022
The speaker contrasts God's work in the Old Testament, where help was external, with the New Testament, where God comes to live inside believers. This internal presence, powered by the Holy Spirit, provides the strength to overcome sin from within, unlike the external help of the past. This internal power is necessary because repeated confession of sin without internal change is insufficient.
