What is the Christian faith like?

Question 12

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 spiritual power of heaven and the strength of God.  Christ showed us that he is able to do all this for us.  He has granted us to be filled with the spirit of heaven which helps us continually.  His spirit impels us, strengthens us and give us great joy.  He fills us with his wisdom and his kindness, and guides us in all we do.  And we thank him greatly for this blessing he has given to us.
