The Holy Spirit

I do not hear much teaching on the Holy Spirit across the many venues of Christian exposition. Let me raise a theme of study... The Holy Spirit!

Luke 24:46-49 says, Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with POWER from on high.”

I Am Disappointed

The “church” has failed a great many sincere believers of that Gospel we first heard, by which we are saved. The “church” is not that which saves us. It is faith, and nothing else, in the finished work of Jesus the Christ. As Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Moreover, brethren, I declare to you THE gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved... that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

Who Can Comprehend?

1 Cor. 2:6-7, We speak the wisdom of God in a MYSTERY among those who are spiritually mature, the hidden wisdom which God predetermined before the ages for OUR glory...
...verse 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

Who can comprehend the width and length and depth and height of God's love and mercy, displayed in salvation in Christ Jesus! These are infinite considerations too remarkable for finite minds.
