1 | Taught of God? Walk in God? | 1 Thess 4:9 | DocTrinsograce | 152621 | ||
From my favorite commentaries: "My doctrines and the benefits of my mediation are that real support of spiritual life of which the manna in the wilderness was the faint emblem. See John 6:32-33." --Albert Barnes "Christ is so called, because he gives life to dead sinners: men in a state of nature are dead in trespasses and sins; and whatever they feed upon tends to death; Christ, the true bread, only gives life, which is conveyed by the word, and made effectual by the Spirit: and because he supports and maintains the life he gives; it is not in the power of a believer to support the spiritual life he has; nor can he live on anything short of Christ; and there is enough in Christ for him to live upon: and because he quickens, and makes the saints lively in the exercise of grace, and discharge of duty, and renews their spiritual strength, and secures for them eternal life." --John Gill |

Hi Doc, Thank you. Quoting John Gill in part: 1) "Christ is so called, because he gives life... Christ, the true bread, only gives life,..." I could infer that although John Gill does not capitalize Bread, it is He who gives life. 2) "which is conveyed by the word, and made effectual by the Spirit: and because he supports and maintains the life he gives;" I could infer that John Gil is saying that the life given is conveyed by the word; the Spirit Himself supports and maintains the life He gives. 3) "it is not in the power of a believer to support the spiritual life he has;" The word is "made effectual by the Spirit". 4) "nor can he live on anything short of Christ; and there is enough in Christ for him to live upon: and because he quickens...secures for them eternal life." Christ is needed for attaining life; we live upon Christ and His words...and have eternal life. Christ, the true Bread gives us life. This is accomplished through His word; made effectual by the Spirit. ******* Would this be an adequate understanding of what John Gill has said? From the heart, Ray |
