John 3: 24 The Spirit

In the same way, in chapters 5-10 in the epistle of Paul who wrote for the Jews and gentiles we identify that the Spirit was: “setting believers apart, affirms adoption for believers, provides a balance to the law, and affirms adoption for believers” . The Spirit resurrected Jesus. In this book the apostle Paul is using the words, charisma(gifts) and pneumatikos (spiritual relating to the Spirit) referring to the spiritual gifts. I liked the analogy that Paul give the Jews to explained them that they are free from the law that only brought them condemnation. Warrington gives the illustration of a marriage couple that one of them die and the other one now is set free from that relationship. Similarly, Jews are free from the law because Jesus
189). The author gives us the example of 1 John 3:24 The Spirit affirms that a believer is a child of God by the nature relationship they both have. It’s important to have Love and obedience towards God. God’s grace is mortgage in our hearts. Moreover, the Spirit has given (edoken) to us salvation. In 1 John 4:2, it is important that the Spirit affirms the humanity of Jesus because there are false spirits so John advices us to have discernment in spirits. Those who have the Spirit of the Lord will accept Jesus but those who neglect the word then it means that he/she does not have the Spirit. “The Spirit was a witness of Jesus incarnation who through “water and blood” affirming that the Spirit depended on Jesus. The water and blood means water in the baptism, it can also represent the water and blood from Jesus’ side at the crucifixion, and his baptism and crucifixion” (Warrington, p. 208). The Spirit is not only a witness but testifies to Jesus. The book of Jude, “the brother of Jesus who became save and probably a missionary after the resurrection of Jesus.” (p. 211). The problem that he was facing was: the heresy had the wrong doctrine and it was affecting believers. He considered that the Spirit was shown in the believers and
In addition, the impact that the Holy Spirit had on individuals by changing their lives after He gave them salvation. Moreover, The Spirit worked through the community by giving them gifts such as prophecy, healing, and authority to casting out demons. He also mentioned that people used to live by the Law but now in Christ we are set free. The author even gives us an example: Warrington said that following the law and following Jesus was like a couple who married then one dies and the one that stays alive and has been set freedom. It is no longer under that law of obeying the spouse because now it’s no longer there. Jesus came to give us freedom through the Holy Spirit who gave us salvation. We are set apart therefore, there is a zeal on us given by the Spirit. It does not matter if we sin because the Father does not keep count of our sins because is a merciful God who forgive us, but since we are keep in holiness that means loving Him and being obedient to Him. In 2 Timothy 2:15 “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” We have to be obedient to the Spirit. The author explained that the gift of the Spirit is received by some people who have faith but not necessarily every believer received only to those the Spirit wants to impart that gift. The author did some minor typos in
