January 12, 2020 My Soul, Be Spiritual! (1 Corinthians 12:1-11)
God
is a living spirit.
Because
He is spirit, He is true.
Because He is true, He is the truth.
Because He is the truth, He is life and light (Jn 1:3-4).
His name is Jesus. He put His name in our hearts.
Jesus’ name inside our hearts is not doctrine.
It is eternal life.
It is the right to become God’s children (Jn 1:12).
The right of God’s children is not just eternal life.
They should be spiritual by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 2:10-16).
Spiritual people
know about God’s working,
the duty of Jesus Christ,
and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
These are permitted to us.
As spiritual people belong to heaven,
they should be filled with the Holy Spirit’s gifts (1 Cor 12:7-11).
When they lay hands on the sick, the sickness should flee (Mk 16:18).
Spiritual people should make demons recognize them, tremble and be driven out (Acts 16:16-18).
The Lord works with them from heaven (Mk 16:20).
The Lord Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb 13:8).
○ The people of Jesus Christ should be spiritual.
They should do what Jesus did.
○ Those who are baptized in immersion should be spiritual.
They should always have the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit.
○ The Church of Jesus is His body.
His Body is His life and power.
It should be filled with Jesus and His power.
※ Without the Holy Spirit’s power, you can only be religious.
Religious people are godly but cannot escape judgment.
The people of the Holy Spirit are free and gain eternal life.
