Believers, 
Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit of God, was the only begotten Son of God, and we anointed by God's Spirit and empowered by the Spirit to teach and live and sacrifice as He did. At His baptism, the Spirit signaled to John, the baptizer that Jesus is the coming King, the expected Messiah, the Rescuer of Israel, Lamb of God - forgiver of sin, and baptizer with the Holy Spirit. (John 1) We have a similar story. When Message of Jesus was conceived in our hearts, we chose to follow Him - to learn how to live and love from Him. Surrendered to Jesus as our Lord (ie, dead to our self and our sin), we were buried with Christ in baptism, and raised to live a new life - under a new Lord! Jesus is our Master and our Savior! At that time, we were anointed (the word Christ means "Anointed One"; Christian means "little anointed ones") While Jesus was the union of Holy Spirit and flesh (100% God/100% Man - the Holy Spirit in flesh John 14:16,17), we received the Holy Spirit to dwell/live inside of us for the rest of our lives. We, are filled with and anointed by the Spirit of Christ to be empowered and ready - personal witnesses of God's mercy given by the resurrected Jesus, to live out of His Character and Grace, to express His love to even our enemies - to love the unlovable, and to overwhelmingly overcome/conquer/defeat the legions of death and hell in the war over the world! You are more ready than you realize! (2 Corinthians 3 &4, Romans 8, Acts 1) Luke 4:16-22 John 14:16,17 Romans 8:9-11
