The Holy Spirit taught a lot of truth through PEOPLE.
- Could you summarize the Bible without using any names?
- Leviticus 19:18
- Luke 10:25-37 – Jesus taught this truth through people. Here’s what is looks like to be a neighbor.
- For example:
- I Corinthians 10:1-13
- Exodus 32:4-6 – quoted from I Corinthians 10:7
- Numbers 25:1-9 – referenced from I Corinthians 10:8
- Numbers 21:4-6 – referenced from I Corinthians 10:9
- Numbers 16:41-49 – possibly what is being referenced from I Corinthians 10:10
- These stories are written as examples! God does not look kindly on grumbling and complaining.
- Genesis 4:2-7
- Genesis 4:4-5 – This showed that God expected to be worshiped in the way He commanded. Just because we have a talent doesn’t mean that we can use it to worship God. Abel worshiped from faith (Hebrews 11:4).
- Genesis 4:7 – Cain had a choice!
- I Corinthians 10:1-13
We’ll notice some unique things about the Holy Spirit’s descriptions.
- He’s absolutely honest about the good and the bad.
- He writes about people differently than we probably would.
- I Kings 11:4
- The Holy Spirit is much more concise than we would be!
- He knows more about us than we know about ourselves.
