The Spirit of Love, Truth and Wisdom
I was reading Chapter 8 of T. Austin-Sparks' wonderful book "The Arm of the Lord" and came across this definition of the Holy Spirit:
"The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of love: no one who lives in the Spirit will have any other than the Spirit of love, will fail to observe the laws of love, will violate love."
Sparks goes on to say:
"The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth: no one who lives in and by the Spirit will be untruthful, in any sense - and untruthfulness covers not only the saying of things that are not true, but everything in the life that is not absolutely true and real and genuine and honest and transparent. The man or the woman who lives in the Spirit will be a man or a woman of truth, one who is real. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom, and those who live in the Spirit will have a Divine wisdom governing their lives."
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
May you be blessed with the Spirit of love, truth and wisdom.
Agape,
Steve
