The Spirit leads us to Obey

The work of the Spirit is incredible. His work encompasses so many tasks and produces so many results in believers. He works regeneration applying redemption to our hearts, he distributes gifts, energizes the working of miraculous and residential gifts for the kingdom, produces fruit, empowers, and gives boldness (and so much more!). Here in Ezek. 36 we are told that God will put his Spirit within his people and cause them to abide in his word and by his rules. In Ezekiel it reads, 

[Eze 36:27 ESV] "And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules."

Amazingly he claims that putting his Spirit in you will "cause you" to abide by his rules. This of course means that he accomplishes this feat. This is a huge stress reliever!
