I am currently reading a book called "Forgotten God" which looks at the evengelical church's neglect of the Holy Spirit. The other side of the coin is that there has been elements of thechurch which have over emphasised the Holy Spirit, where He is almost treated as a seperate force from the trinity.
As we begin our sub theme of "The Holy Spirit in and out of us" first we will begin with some of the basics:
The Hieldeberg Chatechism has this Q&A:
What do you believe concerning the holy spirit?
First that He as well as the Father and the Son is eternal God.
Second He has been given to me personally so that, by true faith, He makes me share in Christ and all his blessings, comforts me and remains with me forever.
From sunday we remember that The Holy spirit is God, He is a person (not an impersonal force) and is our counselor (the voice beside).
As we coinsider the Holy Spirit in light of the Trinity we understand that The creator of the Universe, the Almighty God - loves us enought to live within us - and allow us to have a personal relationship with him. That through Jesus we now become the dwelling place of God. So we may know him better
Will you speak & listen with the Spirit this week?
Will you worship God as trinity this week?
Do you have confidence?
Have a read tof Romans 8:1-17 for a glimps of what life with throughthe Spirit should look like.
