The Spirit Gives Life...

2 Corinthians 3:1 “This “letter” is written not with pen & ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts. We are confident of all of this because of our great trust in God through Christ. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.” The TRINITY represents God’s perfect unity… God loves His people, who are in relationship with Him because of Jesus Christ being IN us, He guides by the power of the Holy Spirit, who inspired all scripture and truth for believers. For all parts of the perfect Trinity that God has provided, we are eternally grateful and moved to obedience and action for His Kingdom. God has given believers His Holy Spirit, which gives power. As Stephen so eloquently put it in some of his last words in his discourse before he was stoned to death by religious leaders (Acts 7) “You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you!” Peace be with you...
