The Holy Spirit is God's seal within a person's heart that they are saved, a child of God, forgiven of their sins and destined for eternal life.
Please read John's Gospel, chapters 14 through 16 to see what importance Jesus gave to receiving the Holy Spirit.

"So I (Jesus) say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Luke 11:9-13

The Holy Spirit is the 3rd Person of the Triune Godhead and He does not abide within everyone. Those who have faith in The Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour are the only human beings who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit:

John 7:39
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Acts 2:2-4
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 8:17
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

Acts 19:6
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Almighty God was, is and will always be triune (one God in three persons, not three gods). God is comprised of the Father, the Son (Lord Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Triune Godhead has a different role. There is only one God (Isaiah 43:10-11; 44:6,8; 45:21-22; 46:9; John 17:3; 1 John 5:20-21). The Father is God (1 Peter 1:2; Philippians 2:11), the Lord Jesus Christ is God (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1; 20:28; Hebrews 1:8; Hebrews 13:8; Revelation 1:7-8; 2 Peter 1:1; Titus 2:13) and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; Acts 28:25-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 3:17.

The Holy Spirit gives us an abundance of life. In fact He gives us life overflowing continuously (John 7:38-39, John 4:14).

God’s infinite and perfect love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). Through the Spirit, we know we are loved by God and that we belong to our Heavenly Father (Galatians 4:6).

When the Spirit of God abides in us because of our faith in Christ, He brings us to yearn for what the Spirit wants (Romans 8:2-6), convicts us of sin (John 16:8-9) and strengthen us so we are able to resist the desires of the flesh (Ephesians 3:16).

The Holy Spirit abides within true Christians and gives to each of us gifts according to the will of God for the building up of the Church.

1 Corinthians 12:8-10 lists the nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit: Tongues, Interpretation of Tongues, Miracles, Healings, Discerning of Spirits, Prophecy, Faith, Knowledge and Wisdom.

God’s Holy Spirit is the Spirit of revelation and truth, guiding those who are in Christ into all truth (John 16:13, Ephesians 1:17). The Holy Spirit reminds believers of all the teachings of Christ, and He reveals the wisdom hidden in these teachings and in the scriptures (John 14:26). When we study the Holy Bible, it is the Holy Spirit Who brings us into the understanding of the scriptures. In our daily activities and in dealing with others, He reminds us of what we have learnt in the Word of God and shows us how to apply these truths.

The Holy Spirit leads us in the path that God has made for us (Matthew 4:1). The Holy Spirit guides us in all of our actions even in speaking (Acts 16:6) and gives us the boldness to speak the word of God (Acts 4:29-31).

In praying, we do not know all the time what we ought to be praying for, so the Holy Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God (Romans 8:26-27).

REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.

If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:

"Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.

Amen"
