Bible Answer: I have a study that would like to share with the forum and could be of great appreciation and benefit to all… 1-Signals that Christ left us------- Mark 16:15-NASB-And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 2-You have the Lord’s Power------- John 14:12-KJV-Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 3-The fruits of the Spirit------- Galatians 5:22-NASV- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 4-Gifts of the Spirit------- 1 Corinthians 12:7–NASV-But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 5-If you work for Christ------- 2 Corinthians 2:14-NASV-But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. 15For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; 16to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life and who is adequate for these things? 17For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. 6-Spirit gives testimony------- Romans 8:14-NASV-For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15For 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!" 16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 7-You live for Christ------- 2 Corinthians 5:15-NASV-and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. 8-You are new creature------- 2 Corinthians 5:17-NASV-Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 9-If you reject desires of the flesh------- Galatians 6:8-NASV-For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 10-They have crucified the flesh------- Galatians 5:24-NASV-Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Is Christ Living and Pronouncing Himself Through You, Without Him You’ll return to The same Or Worse Condition Than before |
