1 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | EdB | 114007 | ||
Sir Pent We seem to be getting tangled up in definitions and implications. Let’s talk relationship. In the Old Testament, man and God were in a very different relationship than what we enjoy as New Testament believers. In the Old Testament God loved his people and used men and women chosen by Him to serve Him. In this service God empowered them through His Holy Spirit with the capabilities they needed to accomplish their task. In the New Testament our relationship with God is as Father child. God sends us His Holy Spirit to dwell within us to help us achieve all that we can along with doing His service. EdB |

2 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | Sir Pent | 114016 | ||
So we agree after all............................ Hi EdB, So it seems that we are in agreement here that the critical change between the Old and New Testaments (relating to the Holy Spirit's methods) is our relationship with God. This transition to becoming sons of God is what enabled the Holy Spirit to come in a new way. |
