1 | The work of God: hearing with faith? | Gal 3:5 | Ray | 144545 | ||
Hi JoyWriter, My question is based on my personal belief in the Giver and the gift, the Spirit and the spirit, the Word and the word. I believe that we are told to be filled with the spirit, that Jesus was filled with holy spirit. Thus, I would say for Galatians 3:5 that God "provides you with the spirit [sic] and works miracles among you." What do you think? From the heart, Ray |

2 | The work of God: hearing with faith? | Gal 3:5 | Joy Writer | 144546 | ||
I kind of get what you are getting at, Ray. I believe in being filled with the Spirit, too. There is the Holy Spirit and our spirit. When I look at the word "Word" (capitalized) I think of God's Word. | ||||||
3 | The work of God: hearing with faith? | Gal 3:5 | Ray | 144589 | ||
Hi Joy Writer, To be able to diferentiate between the Word (who is God, John 1:1) and the word (the Scriptures), I choose to put God's "word" in the lower case. Although I agree with you that "There is the Holy Spirit and our spirit" I would go on and say that there is the holy spirit that we are to receive. Indeed, we are to be filled with the spirit, Ephesians 5:18. He gives the spirit without measure, John 3:34. He provides us with the spirit, Galatians 3:5. John 4:10, "Jesus anwered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it [the One] is who says to you, 'Give Me to drink', you would have asked Him, and **He would have given you living water." John 7:38, "He who believes in **Me, as the Scriptures said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'" But this He spoke of the spirit. That's the way I see it. From the heart, Ray |
