AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:9 ¶ However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God]. [Rom 8:14] |

Bible Note: Hi Terrib, Romans 15:15, NASB, says, "For you have not received a spirit of slavery, leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba, Father!" 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." In the same way 1 John 3:24 talks of this spirit that we received, which was given to us. Romans 8:16 tells us that "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit" and 1 John 4:2 tells us that "By this you know the *spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;" Romans 8:16 affirms that we are children of God and 1 John 4:2 affirms that we know the spirit of God, for we confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. 2) In talking about the witness of the Spirit of Christ you are thinking about the Spirit of truth, the Helper, that was sent and would come. However, I don't see the Spirit of truth as being "given". I see the spirit of truth [sic] as given in 1 John 4:6. 3) I see His spirit given in 1 John 4:13. From the heart, Ray |
