05/29/2023 – “Spiritual Warfare” – Chapter 28 – Group Fellowship and Discussion
From our concluding paragraph: “Just as the peace of God is not the illusory peace that the world gives, so the spiritual war that is a part of holiness is not the confused war that the world wages. The peace of God is not peace with greed, lust and price, not peace with the world, the flesh, and the devil, but it is peace with neighbor, self and God. And the war of God is not war with neighbor, self, or God but war with greed , lust, and pride, with the world, the flesh, and the devil. The two wars are at war with each other, and so are the two peaces.”
“We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people. But the natural man does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to know it since it is evaluated spiritually. The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. For: who has known the Lord’s mind, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2: 13 – 16
Soli Deo Gloria indeed!
