What is the Christian faith like?
Question 11

|
When a strong wind blows, it uproots the dry grass from the surface of the earth. The words of the prophets are like a strong wind: they sweep away the primitive ignorance of mankind. But the earth needs more than wind that uproots the dry grass. It needs rain for new grass to grow. Man is not just in need of prophets bringing commands and obligations. He also needs some way of being filled with the blessing of heaven and the power of God. Christ showed us that he is able to do all this for us. He has enabled us to be filled with the spirit of heaven which helps us continually. His spirit strengthens us and changes us from within so that we become filled with the goodness of God. He fills us with his wisdom and love, and guides us in all we do. And we thank him greatly for this blessing he has given to us. It is written in the writings of the Gospel, “If you do what the body wants, you will have death. But if you put to death the deeds of the body with the wisdom of the Spirit, you will have life” (Rom 8:13). Respond to contact@tachelhit.info |
