The Spirit of the Law
from Sundays at Cumberland · host Courtney Harkness
You can’t be godly without God…You can’t be Christian without Christ…And you can’t be “holy” without the Holy Spirit…The biblical record affirms the history of our burdensome longing for spiritual fulfillment, and the New Covenant reveals that God chose to resolve this tension - once and for all - by satisfying us with Himself. It seems to be the obvious conclusion for a world, and a people, dehydrating themselves in sin. But what’s most intriguing about it all is the manner in which He chooses to do it:He gives us His Spirit.Not just a set of rules to obey…Not just a perfect example to follow…Instead, He unites with each of us, specifically and individually, that we might find perfect alignment with Him. Our intimacy with God is made possible by our dependence on His Spirit, and He is the assurance we have in knowing that we truly belong to the Lord.
