Bible Note: Joe, I agree that "all these things come from God." I hope that I have never insinuated anything less. I am what I am solely by God's grace alone. Nevertheless, there is a sense in which we partake and share, as you have said here, in Christ's Spirit. If all these wonderful blessings remain in the person of Christ alone, they will not benefit us one iota. This is one of the primary reasons He comes to indwell us - He wants union with His new creations. Well, I have shared on this subject enough, bro. Kalos is accusing me of arguing and wrangling over words so I'll drop it. :) Thanks for your challenging (and kind) interaction, bro. Talk to you later. McGracer |
