Paul sets forth the character of the public expression of the Christian life. Be subject to authorities and ready to help in every good work. Show meekness to all men.
He contrasts our previous sinful character with our present portion of marvelous grace. Our cleansing was not outward, not by a literal bath, but by a complete regeneration, accompanied by new birth and by the renewing of the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost was not only given to us at the time of regeneration but was shed upon us abundantly, which continues until we are in the glory. By this work of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost we are made heirs of the hope of eternal life.
Before being saved through the work of the Holy Ghost, we were opposed entirely to God and His Christ. We carry with us nothing of the old that is good. The Holy Spirit is constantly forming us into the likeness that is of Christ-Christian character. We have much to learn practically, having known nothing of this new life in the Holy Ghost before.
The assembly should maintain a simple character of believing the truth and not be taken up with foolish questions. One who brings in unscriptural doctrines is a heretic because he is not satisfied with the truths brought by the Holy Spirit. He must be rejected after the first and second admonition.
The Bible "The Bible, in its object, is a whole, which presents to us God coming forth from His essential fullness to manifest all that He is, and to bring back into the enjoyment of this fullness with Himself those who, having been made partakers of His nature, have become capable of comprehending and loving His counsels and Himself."
J. N. Darby
