Galatians 3:2 ESV

Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?

God gives those who believe in Him the Holy Spirit, who acts as our counselor, teaches us and reminds us of God's Word, prompt us to pray, and help us to follow God's way. We receive the Holy Spirit not by the law, but by hearing the Gospel with faith. The Holy Spirit is our guide in understanding and following the law of God, not the other way.
