The word for today is - Spirit !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Spirit !

 

The question is this, who do you say that I AM? This is the question Jesus is asking us today? I have tried to point out only what the Bible says, and not to what I think it means. The proper interpretation of Scripture has long been a source of debate because many people consider the process too subjective. We've all heard remarks like "Doesn't everyone have their own view?" or "Aren't there many ways to interpret that passage?" The answer in fact is "No"! there are not many ways to interpret the Bible. The Bible is not some false teaching. In contrast to the relativity so common in our world, it is comforting to know that God offers absolute truth and every passage of Scripture has Only One intended meaning and Only One correct interpretation. We must read the word of God, or hear the word of God inorder to know the word from God. Anything that is less than, more than, or different from what the Bible says is false doctrine. Read Ephesians 4:5, One Lord, one faith, one baptism. If we fail to follow God’s instructions or His word, it becomes sin, we will be lost and punished along with Satan. The Bible tells us to speak the truth and the truth will set you free!  Get this you must be born again, to be “spiritually born" this means that God's Holy Spirit “quickens” or "brings alive our Dead Spirit." When a sinner believes the Lord Jesus as the Christ, trusting in Him alone to forgive all their sins,then God the Father and God the Son comes into one's heart in the form of the Holy Spirit read John 14:23,Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  The “Holy Spirit” is “God within us.”  A person cannot understand the Bible without the presence of the Author, and God is the Author. When you become born-again or born for the second time of the Spirit, God's Holy Spirit comes into your body read 1Corinthians 3:16,Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Did you get that? It is the Spirit of God in you. When you get to understand that, then you will understand many new things for the first time in your life. The reason why you need to be "spiritually born" is because you have never been spiritually born to begin with. So, when the Bible speaks of being “born again,” it actually means “born for the second time.” You were born physically into this world, but you were born without the Spirit of God in your soul (spiritually dead). You have God living in your  body in the form of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:9, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Read Romans chapter 8 tells us that the Spirit of Christ dwells within every believer. We are not God, but we have God's Spirit living in us. The Godhead dwells in every believer, you see the Holy Spirit of God guides us, comforts us, teaches us, rebukes us, chastises us, convicts us, encourages us, empowers us, loves us, strengthens us, and so much more. Read 1 Corinthians 8:6, But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. God is so awesome that He says, in His word in Ephesians 4:13-16,Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. The word of God says, intil we all come into the unity of the faith, then we will have the fulness of Christ.Thank you Lord for your love. Amen !
