[soc.religion.christian] John 16.13

ROBERT@kontu.utu.fi (Robert W. Johnson) (03/01/91)

When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth.
John 16:13.

One thing is certain, that revelation will always precede faith.  Seeing and
believing are two princples which govern Christian living.  When we see 
something God has done in Christ, our spontaneous rejoinder is faith's
"Thank You, Lord!"  Revelation is always the work of the Holy Spirit, who
by coming alongside and opening to us the Scriptures guides us into all
truth.  Count on Him, for He is there for this very thing.  And when such
difficutlties as lack of understanding or lack of faith confront you, always
address those difficulties directly to the Lord:  "Lord, open my eyes.  
Make this thing clear to me.  Help thou my unbelief!"  He will not let such
prayers go unheeded.
