I am posting a final quote from Shawn Bolz's book relevant to points I make in my books and blogs for our good and God’s glory:
“…we are all given access to the will of God and connection to God through the Holy Spirit. Jesus restored our connection with God! We no longer need a proxy through which we commune with our loving Creator. Jesus built a bridge that crosses the chasm of our sin to connect us directly with the Father’s love….We now have Jesus and His Spirit of truth, revelation, wisdom, and knowledge living inside of us.”
