The Living Gospel: A Testament of Spirit and Will #1528

The Living Gospel: A Testament of Spirit and Will Beloved in Christ, In the reverence of Jesus' disciples and Paul, they found in the Holy Spirit the essence of divine will. The Spirit cherished a path of obedience, embracing even death to fulfill God's desires. Jesus, transcending life's mortal limits, welcomed death as a reality within God's kingdom. His teachings, through the Holy Spirit, held supreme importance, fostering absolute trust in the Spirit's sacred guidance. Their lives were measured by spiritual alignment, where the Word stood secondary (John 10:38; Matthew 7:21-23). The Word, birthed by the Holy Spirit, did not precede the Spirit, but emerged from obedience. It was the spirit of divine will that birthed the gospel, and true belief naturally led to doing God's will. Speaking and hearing alone left the gospel incomplete; it only became whole when lived out in faith. Let us commit to not just hear, but to live the gospel, aligning our lives with God's will, guided by the Holy Spirit. In Christ's eternal love. Written by Steven G. Lee (May 27, 2024)
