Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that He may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1Co 2:12-16)
The Spirit is not just a force, or the work of GOD in this world, but He Himself is GOD, one with the Father and the Son. His work is to bring people to Christ that they might have life, and have it more abundantly. His will is that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. He has moved His saints to write His Word, grow the Church of Christ, and continues to inspire the Word of GOD in the hearts and minds of believers who seek Him.
He continues to direct and command His people, and the saints of GOD to minister to the hurting and in need, with the love of Jesus. He continues to disciple us in the Word that we might grow in grace and loving one another show that we are His disciples. He continues to command, guide and empower the Church to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Salvation that comes from GOD through repentance and reconciliation by faith. As we go, we obey the Spirit, to share the Gospel with all who will hear and believe, that they might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
