Baptism of the Spirit

When John baptized Jesus, God said, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Can you imagine God the Father saying the same thing about you? - “This is my beloved child with whom I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:23) Are you shocked by that thought? What if, when we repent, accept Christ, and receive new life in the Spirit, we are beloved children of God with whom He is well pleased? How then would we be the Body of Christ in a place like this? What if a local church contained disciples and those who are not yet? Can the disciples be “Heaven on Earth” to the seekers and outsiders?
