Title: Possess spiritual information (Colossians 3:1~4)
Contents
We are now living in the information age. Sociologists and experts in each field classify the 21st century into the crisis era, sports era, ultra-high speed era, cutting-edge mining industry era, network era, cyber era, and specialization era. Anyway, in today's era, high-level strategies and tactics are being used to survive the competition for survival of various structures and systems.
At this time, there is information that the Lord's people desperately need. As shown in Colossians 1:26-27, it is the spiritual information of heaven hidden in Jesus Christ. We must reap the worldly, lustful, and demonic life of the earth that was given to us. Instead, we must seek the above and bear good fruit through the spiritual information of heaven that thinks of the above, and we must live the life of a witness as a person entrusted with the mystery of God.
In order to live this life, first, we must dynamically aim for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is because the Holy Spirit makes us win the spiritual battle with the evil spirits who have taken over the power of the air through the tricks of the devil. You will have to put on the full armor that God gives you so that you can stand firm and not fall into the devil's tricks that block God's information and make you possess all the negative information in the world.
Ephesians 6:11-13 says, “Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist the schemes of the devil. Against spirits, therefore, put on the full armor of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and have done all, that ye may stand.”
Second, the Holy Spirit knows all about God. Romans 8:27 says, “He who searches hearts knows the thoughts of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” The Holy Spirit is the Spirit who accurately reveals and communicates the spiritual information of heaven accomplished through Jesus Christ by mastering the deep things of God.
Let's look at 1 Corinthians 2:10-14. “But God has revealed these things to us by the Holy Spirit, who searches all things, even the deep things of God. Who can know the things of a man except the spirit that is within him? In the same way, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. so that we may know the things that have been given to us by grace, we say these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but by the Holy Spirit. It seems foolishness to them, and they do not understand it, for they can only discern these things spiritually.”
Finally, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and wisdom, the Spirit of power and hope. We cannot do anything without the Holy Spirit. 2000 years ago, the Pharisees did not possess the information of God, so they persecuted, persuaded Jesus, and committed immoral acts even though they believed in God. The same is true today. All kinds of sins are committed without knowing that they are sins because they do not know God and do not receive God's information.
The Holy Spirit reveals God's attributes, will, and plans from one to ten, and guides them to settle in the harbor of wish even in countless adversity and desperate situations. He will also lead you to lead an advanced and glorious life with all your heart and with good wildness.
Colossians 3:4 says, “When Jesus Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then you will also appear with him in glory.” I hope you will always be a believer who is led by the Holy Spirit.
