We did not receive the gifts to remain the same.
We received the gifts to be transformed, and in being transformed, be able to transform the world. When we receive the gifts of the Spirit, we become God’s agents in the world, witnesses tot he Gospel, missionaries of faith in Christ; we become change agents, spreading love, and joy, and peace, and kindness, and gentleness, and forgiveness, and fidelity, reliability, trustworthiness, goodness, self-restraint, contentment, etc.
The Holy Spirit does not live us the same
