Subject: Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit |
Bible Note: Sir Pent I like the idea of what your gleaning from Gal 4:4-6 however I do see a striking difference in relationship between man and God/Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament man was "filled" or the Holy Spirit came "upon", "in" and etc to empower man to accomplish God's task for that man at that time and place. Whether it was leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt or rebuilding the gates of Jerusalem God was with man, God inspired man, God directed and taught man. However the relationship broken by the fall of man was never overshadowed. In the New Testament we become the children of God and the Holy Spirit is much more in our lives than He was in the lives of Old Testament saints. EdB |
