Just like there are natural cycles, there is also religious generational cycles which we personally and individually are mostly and generally unaware of - for Christianity there are 3 major sections

500 years… 1000 years….. 500 years
And the restoration movement in the 1800s That was a back to the Bible message that caught on. It’s one that should be preached in every generation because for some reason people think their way is better than God’s.

I get accused constantly for being Sola Scriptura, and I am guilty as charged.

God grace is His gift to us, and it comes in many forms, including life itself.

The Holy Spirit is God. We are given the gift of the Holy Spirit when we are baptized.

So you don't think there's any connection between the two?

I’m not clear on what you mean about a connection between them. The Holy Spirit is God. Why don’t you tell me your thoughts on the question you asked? Then maybe I can give you a better answer.

I guess I’m just not understanding your question. Sorry. Perhaps you could rephrase what it is you’re asking?Or maybe someone else will have better understanding.

Like what does Grace do, for/in the life of a Christian, and what does the Holy Spirit do, for/in the life of a Christian, in your own experience?

At the risk of being repetitively annoying, my life is affected as are my behavior and attitudes whenever I am in the states of mind associated with God's Holy Spirit of agape as revealed and demonstrated by Jesus.

Philippians 2:5-30 King James Version
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

The Holy Spirit IS the True Nature of God revealed, described, and demonstrated unambiguously by Jesus. He IS agape love, kindness, mercy, compassion, gentleness, unconditional acceptance, empathy, sympathy, tolerance, long-suffering, decency, friendliness, peacefulness, joyfulness, understanding, care, concern, solicitude, solicitousness, sensitivity, tender-heartedness, soft-heartedness, warm-heartedness, warmth, love, brotherly love, tenderness, gentleness, mercifulness, leniency, lenience, consideration, kindness, humanity, humaneness, kind-heartedness, charity, benevolence, and He is non-judgmental.
