I Corinthians 2-6

Brethren, God is great. He has provided to give us His own Spirit to the ones who really believe in Him and love Him. It is the same Spirit that was part of the creation of the world, and the same one that raised Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead." we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely give us" I Corinthians 2:12.

God is all, "So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." I Corinthians 3:7 and he wants us to be like Him. "for God's temple is sacred and you are that temple" I Corinthians 3:17

God is powerful, by His Spirit, we become like Him, "when we are cursed we bless, when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world. I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you, as my dear children" I Corinthians 4:13. By this Spirit of humility we can understand the way our Lord Jesus Christ is pleased. "God oppose the proud and gives grace to the humble" James 5:6

God has given us His Spirit to be led by what is pleasant to Him. In the letter to the Corinthians, God is clear in warning us against arrogance, sexual immorality and anything that opposes the Spirit of the Lord, since our body is called to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? I Corinthians 6:19

Praise God for giving us the Spirit of power in Christ Jesus!
