John the Baptist exalts Christ and tells us Jesus unlike us has the Spirit without measure!
John3:31-35
31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Wow, the wrath of God is already on those who choose not to believe on Jesus the Christ and they continue in spiritual death never to see life but remain chained to their sin . To receive Christ is to receive life but not to receive Jesus as Lord is to continue in death.
