In this study, we continue our investigation into the nature and work of the Holy Spirit, specifically focusing on his primary role in delivering the Word of God to humanity. We explore how the Spirit functioned as the divine messenger, ensuring the truth was preserved and passed down.
Key Topics We Discuss:
- The Spirit as a Messenger: How the Holy Spirit delivered the Father’s words to Christ and Christ’s words to the Apostles.
- Remembrance and Revelation: Understanding the promise in John 14—that the Spirit would bring all things to the Apostles' remembrance and teach them all things.
- The Mind of Christ: A deep dive into 1 Corinthians 2 to see how spiritual things are compared with spiritual words, giving us access to the very mind of God.
- Comfort Through the Word: Exploring the "comfort of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 9:31) and how it is intrinsically linked to the encouragement and exhortation found in the scriptures.
- Letter vs. Spirit: Clarifying the contrast between the "oldness of the letter" and the "newness of the spirit" in Romans 7 and 2 Corinthians 3, showing that the Spirit brings a life-giving New Covenant.
We believe that by understanding how the Spirit delivered the Word, we can have greater confidence in the Bible as our complete and sufficient guide for faith.
