THE mark of a life
governed by the Holy Spirit is that such a life is
continually and ever more and more occupied with Christ,
that Christ is becoming greater and greater as time goes on. The
effect of the Holy Spirit's work in us is to bring us to the shore
of a mighty ocean which reaches far, far beyond our range,
concerning which we feel—Oh, the depths of the fullness of Christ!
COMMON,
too common is the sin of forgetting the Holy Spirit. This is folly
and ingratitude. He deserves well at our hands, for he is good,
supremely good. As God, he is good essentially. He shares in the
threefold ascription of Holy, holy, holy, which ascends to the
Triune Jehovah. Unmixed purity and truth, and grace is he. He is
good benevolently, tenderly bearing with our waywardness,
striving with our rebellious wills; quickening us from our death in
sin, and then training us for the skies as a loving nurse fosters
her child. How generous, forgiving, and tender is this patient
Spirit of God.
By Charles Spurgeon
(1834 - 1892)
The greatest thing the church
needs in this time,
is God's Holy Spirit.
By David Harsha
The
Spirit is given to supply the Savior's
absence,
and to apply to our souls the redemption finished
on Calvary. It is His blessed work to glorify Jesus;
to testify of Him.
