“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 11:13

Breaking news: In Luke 11:13, Jesus declares, “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” The power and presence of the Holy Spirit are available to all who ask and trust in God.

interview with the author of Luke 11:13

Interviewer: Could you please share with us the inspiration behind Luke 11:13?

Author: Absolutely. In Luke 11:13, Jesus is teaching his disciples about prayer. He tells them that if they, being imperfect human beings, know how to give good gifts to their own children, how much more will God, who is perfect and loving, give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

I was inspired to write this verse because it speaks to the heart of what prayer is all about. It reminds us that prayer is not just about asking God for things, but about asking for the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It’s about seeking a deeper relationship with God and allowing Him to work in and through us.

Interviewer: That’s a beautiful message. How do you think this verse can be applied to our lives today?

Author: Well, in today’s world, we often get caught up in the busyness of life and forget to focus on the things that really matter. We may pray for material things or temporary solutions to our problems, but we often overlook the most important thing: the Holy Spirit.

We all need the Holy Spirit’s guidance and comfort in our lives, and we can access that through prayer. By asking for the Holy Spirit, we open ourselves up to God’s presence and allow Him to work in our lives in powerful ways.

So, my hope is that readers will take inspiration from Luke 11:13 to seek the Holy Spirit in their daily lives and allow God to transform them from the inside out.

information about the author of Luke 11:13

According to evangelical Christian belief, the Gospel of Luke was written by Luke the physician, who was a companion of the apostle Paul. Luke was known for his meticulous attention to detail and record-keeping, and his Gospel is often described as the most historically accurate of the four Gospels.

Luke was not one of the original twelve apostles, but he was a respected member of the early Christian community and was well-versed in the teachings of Jesus. It is believed that he wrote his Gospel to provide a clear and accurate account of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus, in order to strengthen the faith of his readers and to present Jesus as the Son of God and the savior of the world.

In Luke 11:13, Jesus says, “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!” This passage emphasizes the generosity and goodness of God, and encourages believers to ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

As an evangelical Christian, I believe that the Holy Spirit is an essential part of the Christian life, and that the passage in Luke 11:13 reminds us of the incredible gift that God has given us through the Holy Spirit. Luke’s Gospel is a powerful testimony to the life-changing love and grace of Jesus, and this passage is just one example of the many profound teachings that we can learn from this inspired writing.
