The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that he not only knows what he’s thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.
— I Corinthians 2:10-13
The Message
“Reaching For The Light”
The Gift of Life … p 36
To the extent we allow ourself to be held captive by our own body consciousness, oblivious of our true spiritual Being, we are as the blind leading the blind: aught that is good can come of it.
The Gift of Life is given, not that we be all things to all people, but that we may be and do all that God is. By its very nature we have a duty to honour that which we have been given. We alone, in the presence of God, must, in all reverence surrender to His care that we may work out our own salvation.
