The Inner Workings of God’s Spirit - Part 2
The Inner Workings of God's Spirit - Part 2
Lyall Johnston—September 16, 2023
Last time, we covered two scriptures that Paul gave to us, which have to do with the witness of God’s Spirit within us.
It concerns what the Holy Spirit is, not ‘who’ the Holy Spirit is.
Let us continue with the statements that Paul made about the inner workings of God’s
Holy Spirit:
· how we can have access to it
· How we need to be able to use that Spirit
· how God has provided His Spirit for us there willingly
What is required
to receive the Spirit of God? We must continue in obedience to the
Law of God!
If we reverse our decision and begin to turn around and go the other way, God is
not going to feed us with His Spirit. We are not going to grow. In fact, let’s
just turn to Heb. 5 In fact, the whole book of Hebrews is such an important
book for all of God’s people. Paul is revealing the whole role of Jesus Christ:
· as our High Priest
· as our Lord and Master
· as our Savior
· as our coming King
So important!
The Hebrews had a problem and Paul was correcting them. We understand how great the
knowledge of Paul was; he was fully taught in the teachings of the Old
Testament. Mind you, also in the false teachings of Judaism, which he had to
repent of, but also fully equipped with God!
