Saw this great verse on my Verse-A-Day Android App... 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. Before launching into further instruction about spiritual gifts, Paul takes a moment here to confirm a warning against being led astray to mute idols. In contrast to those false gods, the Lord God speaks in a very real way through His people via the Holy Spirit. It is, I think, one of the most beautiful things to know that the God who saves me also chose to make His home in me. The church is the temple of God, and the Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of a promise: our seal in Christ Jesus that we are in Him, and He in us. The Holy Spirit unfailingly leads us to testify to the truth about Jesus, to share the gospel, to confession and repentance of sins, and stands poised and ready each and every day. Praise be to God for His magnificent gift of the Holy Spirit. Verse/Commentary courtesy of Verse-A-Day android app. verse-a-day/Apps
