Embracing Life in the Spirit: The Whole Counsel of God
Episode Overview
The gospel is incomplete without acknowledging the Holy Spirit's role. Christians must live under the new covenant, embracing life in the spirit. Traditional evangelical teachings often neglect the Holy Spirit's importance. Historical and scriptural insights highlight the necessity of the spirit. Believers should question if they receive the whole counsel of God.
"Without the appropriating work of the spirit, all that Christ accomplished on our behalf would be in vain."
