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...

    One of the big problems of the 21st century churches is that they exalt human beings, their goal is to make us feel good about ourselves, to tell us that we have the potential to succeed in everything we do, and they take out God and the power of the Holy Spirit out of the picture. We are NOTHING without God.

    Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:4, 5 NLT)
    Great message Todd, I love you and miss you both.
