1 | Self control, and Spirit control? | Ephesians | 4me2liveisChrist | 52726 | ||
This is a followup on a question I asked. I believe the answer below is the correct answer. The answer came from one of the people I asked. REFERENCES 1 Cor 9:25 Self control Eph 5:18 Spirit control QUESTION How is it then, that we are to be both self controlled, and be filled (controlled) by the Holy Spirit? ANSWER The Holy Spirit guides, convicts, instructs, and helps us. He is the Wonderful Counselor. The control He exerts is influence, but we always have the option of rejecting Him. We have the freedom of choice so that we are not simply robots. We can try self control on our own, but we will fail without truth and wisdom. The transforming work He does is also control, but we must submit or yield to His way. When we are filled with the Holy Sprit, we enter into a partnership with Him, He changes our character (Spirit control) as we submit to His authority (self control). |

2 | An Argument from Silence and A Thought | NT general Archive 1 | 4me2liveisChrist | 48926 | ||
Gen 1:26 Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our Likeness.... Isaiah 9:6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Micah 5:2 But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity. The Hebrew mind understood that God is three persons and is one. The Pharasees couldn't accept the techings of the Messiah, and felt threatened from a political standpoint. In addition, their idea of a Messiah was one who would be a military leader. Therefore, the Jewish leaders came up with false accusations, and false witnesses. Pilate didn't want anything to do with Jesus, and handed him back to the Jews. However the will of the Jews won because Pilate didn't want trouble. Little did any of them realize, that this all fit perfectly into the Father's plan. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns! Forever and ever, Amen! |
