(continued from part #11) Paul continues his prayer for the church by declaring how God has shown His power in four ways.
The Spirit of His son (Gal 4:6), A witness (Acts 5:30-32), Another comforter (John 14:16), God (Acts 5:3-4; 2 Cor 3:17-18).
Paul continues his prayer for the church by declaring how God has shown His power in four ways:
The Spirit of Jesus (Acts 16:6-7), The Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:19), The spirit of Christ (Rom 8:9; 1 Peter 1:11).
Paul's prayer for the church is that they increasingly grow in the wisdom, revelation and knowledge of God. Paul's prayer:
The Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus (Romans 1:4; 8:11; 1 Peter 3:18), The Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30), His Holy Spirit (1 Thess 4:8), The Power of the Highest (Lk. 1:35).
God's sealing of the Holy Spirit secures and saves all believers.
The Spirit of God (Matt. 3:16; 12:28), The Spirit of the Lord (Lk. 4:18), My Spirit (Matt. 12:18), His Spirit (Eph. 3:16), The Promise of the Father (Acts 1:4), The gift of God (John 14:10; 14), The spirit who raised up Jesus (Rom. 1:4; 8:11). Filique controversy = whether the Spirit proceeds from the Father alone or from the Father and the son. Simony = to purchase an office in the church.
God has predestined believer in Christ to receive the seal of the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of their eternal inheritance as God's redeemed possession.
