Bible Note: hello following him; It was good to hear from you once again. Below I posted a couple of your comments. "In response to your question I would say we are active but only as one responding to the direction of the Lord: For example see the scriptures below the works we do are originated in God. He prepared them that we should walk in them. Our response is to walk in them." "The Spirit gives life to our mortal Bodies - By the Spirit we put to death the deeds of the flesh." - "You are a son of God if you are being led by the Spirit" - "The spirit interceeds for us." "God causes all thing to work for our good - In Rom 8:29-30 you can see our progress from glory to glory is realy God's work being performed in us. We only respond to Him. If we will not respond to Him then I would say that would be living according to the flesh (see Rom 8:13 above) and regeneration does not take place." So I can better understand you. I would like to ask you another question if you would be so kind. the question is. Do you believe the Holy Spirit dwells even in unbelievers, and remains inactive in them, until some at point in their lives they become aware of His indwelling presence, and at this point they begin actively responding to Him? I hope I didn't propose too diificult a question |
