It can be said that we must have "a holy spirit"
|
This is different - it's a manner of speaking, just like "she was in good spirits".
The word spirit in Greek means the unseen thing that can influence, and often refers to attitude and disposition in the way it is used. We need to have a disposition which is holy. unless our spirit or attitude is holy, we will never see the kingdom of God (Rom.8:5-10). |
