Life through the Spirit

i draw the reader’s attention to romans 8:1-17 which speaks to the comments i shared in my last blog post about our direct access to the “most holy place” made possible by the sin sacrifice of the living jesus christ.

for what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, god did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. and so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the [holy] spirit.

you, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the spirit, if the spirit of god lives in you. and if anyone does not have the spirit of christ, he does not belong to christ. but if christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin,yet your [human] spirit is alive because of righteousness. and if the spirit of him who raised jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit, who lives in you. (romans 8;3-4: 9-11)

we have direct communion with the holy spirit, sent by jesus from the father at pentecost and on to the present day. it is a dual interaction made possible by god’s created neural synaptic networks which i trust have been compellingly explained in my writings.
