Be brought to completion by the Spirit, part five

Be brought to completion by the Spirit, part four

  The mountaintop Last week, we visited the mountaintop. We saw God the Father summing up all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth (Eph 1:10). He is doing this by reconciling all things to Himself through Christ, having made peace by the blood of His cross – things in heaven and things on earth. (Col...

Be brought to completion by the Spirit, part three

Recap In our last blog, we saw that the book of Ephesians is about the church as a whole:  the one Body of Christ.  This has major implications for how we interpret Ephesians 5:18.

Some of  the key Bible passages on these two subjects also referred to the subject we are going to consider now. That subject is the New Man.

The Baptism by the Spirit

Overview The Baptism by the Spirit is another miraculous event that occurs the moment we believe  in Christ. It is performed for every believer without exception.  It is performed once and never needs to be repeated. This baptism by the Spirit is completely the work of God the Holy Spirit and we don’t do a thing to accomplish it. It is...

Regeneration

For the past three weeks, we have examined all aspects of the work that Christ accomplished by His death on the cross. We ended up last week with the amazing thing that God the Father does for a person when they believe in Christ as their Savior. He declares them righteous forever, and that is called justification. So now we are ready to look at the work that God the Holy Spirit...
