Anointing of God's Holy Spirit

1 John 2:20 (NRSV)  But you have been anointed by the Holy One, 

and all of you have knowledge.

We have an anointing from the Holy One - 

our Lord Jesus Christ. 

When a person is saved, he/she receives the indwelling Holy Spirit, 

Who enables the believer to discern between truth and error.

This anointing is the foundation 

to growing in spiritual maturity.
