Come Rescue Us

The Apostle Paul uses the word Spirit (125 times).
More than any other New Testament writer.
Paul also understood the great need for God's Spirit
as we can see in Romans 7: 14-18
Paul understood firsthand what it was like to have a
very good knowledge of God's word and a strong desire
to do what was right but somehow ended up persecuting
the early christians and even Jesus himself.

Thank God who delivered both Paul and us from the law
of sin and death. Now through Jesus Christ we live by
the Spirit. Romans 8: 1-4
Paul knows that the Spirit must control our minds if
we are going to please God. Paul further knows that
the Spirit of Christ must be in us in order for us to
belong to Christ. He also states that it is only through
the Spirit that we can put to death the misdeeds of
the body. Praise God!!! Those who are led by the Spirit
of God are sons of God or children of God.
Romans 8: 6-16
Next week we will be looking at who is the Spirit?
