Two Greek words, dechomai and lambanō, are translated by the same English words, “take” or “receive,” in our English Bibles. Understanding the difference between the two gives us insight into how we receive from God, specifically how we receive the Holy Spirit. This lesson is an essential part of authentic Christianity. It is the starting point of building a real, living relationship with God that goes beyond the surface of “receiving” and develops into fulfilling the purpose of our calling.
