This filling is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of yielding to the Holy Spirit's influence and guidance. In a historical and scriptural context, being filled with the Spirit results in a life characterized by the fruits of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). This command encourages believers to seek spiritual fulfillment and empowerment rather than temporary and destructive pleasures. One of the main means of doing this is consciously and continuously devoting ourselves to study of the Bible (which was totally inspired through the working of the Holy Spirit, as noted by 2 Peter 1:21), and asking for the Spirit's help in understanding and applying what we read.
