It would be good to read that post in tandem with this one as we will not cover the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” at all as we covered that already in that post, other than to say how important it is that we operate in them! (See 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 for the list of gifts available). The Holy Spirit is part of the Triune or Trinity consisting of God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit who are all omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (ever-present always).
In the post called ★ “Back to the Basics” – Whose Body Are You A Part Of? ★, we unpacked that the church is ONE body and that we are all baptized by one Spirit into one body, (see 1 Corinthians 12:12-13). While belief in the Father and Son is critical, we must learn that about the 3 rd person in the Trinity who is equally important. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.” “But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. What do you think? Do you believe 2 out 3 is enough? “Are you settling for a two-thirds God,” that loving God and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is enough? It’s almost like people are living with an understanding of 1 Corinthians 8:6 (NLT) only: It’s as if they’ve settled for a two-thirds God.” (From the YouVersion reading plan ‘Unshakable Hope: Building Our Lives On The Promises Of God’.) “If you want to see believers hem, haw, and search for words, just ask, “Who is the Holy Spirit?” Most believers understand the Father and the Son, but they are perplexed about the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives. I recently finished a devotional from Max Lucado in which he made this point about the Holy Spirit: God has been stirring in my heart that belief in the Trinity is paramount to the health of the church and the growth of each believer. I have been having conversations with them in the past 6 months asking, “What do you think of th e Holy Spirit?” The answers have been quite amazing and revealing on how the devil has blinded believers in regards to the Holy Spirit’s role in our life.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.”Įach weekday I have the privilege to be a part of Bible Studies in which I try to challenge the men at the table to press in and seek to gain knowledge about the faith that they profess.
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control against such things there is no law. Another way to refer to it is “fruit.” If we are truly pursuing God and trying to be more like Jesus, then we should see The Fruit of the Spirit manifested in ever-increasing amounts. I wholeheartedly believe that there should be evidence in your life that you are pursuing God. If this doctrine is true, then the implications are so profound and far-reaching that every part of our lives should be affected.” “The Holy Spirit is the divine author of all Scripture. In yesterday’s post, I shared John Piper’s article and sermon “The Holy Spirit: Author of Scripture” in which he said that:
