About This Product
Excerpt- God has provided some better thing for us in every respect. He has given us the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. Accordingly, says Paul writing, not to the Ephesians or the Philippians, but even to the Corinthians, “We have the mind of Christ,” the intelligence of Christ, the capacity of spiritual understanding. Not, of course, that we have the same measure as the Lord, who had and was Himself the wisdom of God, and this absolutely. We have nothing save in and by Him, and hence only in dependence on Him. However, we have not the mere mind of man only but of Christ, as Christians having the Holy Ghost. The intelligence of Christ is ours; and this shows why what was true in principle of Abraham is increasingly—so to speak—true of the Christian, for it could not be said, in the full force of the terms, that Abraham had the mind of Christ. The Holy Ghost had not yet come, for Jesus was not yet glorified. Now that the Lord Jesus has accomplished the redemption, and has gone up on high, He has sent down the Holy Spirit to dwell in His saints, to make them the temple of God, and even the body of each believer the temple of the Holy Ghost, just as His own body was, He on earth having His body perfectly holy, and ever fit for the Spirit without redemption, we only in virtue of His blood. Hence, never till the blood of Christ was shed could any other here below be the temple of the Holy Ghost. Jesus was the temple of the Spirit; we, I repeat, are only so because our sin is judged in His cross, our guilt blotted out by His blood. Therefore, the Spirit of God comes down to dwell in us, putting honor on the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; but because of this we have a divine power opening into all that God communicates.
