End note
Its God’s deep desire that you will draw closer to Him by reading this study.
God gives so much!
The subject about the Holy Spirit could have been explained more extensively, with more data of reference.
Indeed there is given extended room to the application of the subject ‘speaking spiritual languages’.
This is not because this would be the most important gift (who is to determine this?), but indeed because it forms the base for all the other expressions of the Spirit and an optimal and permanent communication with God.
Dear reader, the developments in this time go very fast. The knowledge increases enormously fast, in natural as well as in spiritual aspect.
The lawlessness also increases, which is a sign of the growing work of satan in people.
But is also a fact that, ‘he who is pure, will become more pure’. The creation waits in great tension (with a longing desire) on the revelation of the sons of God.
Despite the fact, that satan’s influence increases, the power of God’s Spirit in his Church increases more and more! Therefore (Because of that?) we can conquer the powers of darkness! Through the enormous power and wisdom of God.
Also this subject is worth a separate application.
Let’s NOW focus on God’s Plan with men. Let’s NOW discover what kind of special possibilities there are for us within THIS time!
Your Life goes fast, it is over and done before you realise it. Don’t collect your treasure’s here on earth, but in heaven. You can’t take the first mentioned with you , the last mentioned are everlasting!
Treasures in heaven are: the fulfilment with the Spirit of God (gifts and fruit) and through this becoming conform to the image of Jesus Christ.
We don’t have to be satisfied with forgiveness of guilt and in time possibly (…) a (modest) place in heaven!
This is a thought, that is contrary to the being and greatness of God!
He wants to give Himself, indeed now already, to us!
Very concretely considered, so: through the baptism in and the fulfilment with the Holy Spirit! And that which follows after this ‘guarantee’ is indescribably beautiful and magnificent! We can’t grasp that yet!
And Jesus Christ is with us in this way, for all the days of our lives! To the very end of this age, ‘this world’ (Matthew 28:20).
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love surpasses knowledge-
“I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love, so that you, together with all God’s people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ’s love. Yes, may you come to know his love – although it can never be fully known – and so be completely filled with the very nature of God.”
(Ephesians 3:18 and 19, New International Version and Today’s English Version)
