I Corinthians 3:16 “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?” God never speaks or writes anything but truth. His absolute truth is: The Holy Spirit lives in you. Try and comprehend that truth. Would not that truth cause you and me to think, act, live and tell others of our Majestic God? What keeps each of us from being bolder in confessing our faith? Answer: our lack of comprehension of the majesty of our God. We are all too shy. We allow other’s evaluation to demote our faith. Let us not be shy, not in an obnoxious way, but in humble pride knowing the Holy Spirit lives within us.

I Corinthians 3:6-7 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” The growth of your faith is the result of God living within you. We must greatly appreciate all who taught/teach us about God, His truths and all the Bible stories, but without God’s hand we would be without faith. Therefore, you can only conclude God, the Holy Spirit lives within you and is solely responsible for your faith taking hold of your life. Now, isn’t that the best thought you can possibly cherish for both today and the rest of your life.

I Corinthians 2:14 “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Faith is not tangible. That is, one cannot touch and hold faith. Faith is spiritual. That is, it is from within a person’s heart. The Holy Spirit lives within one with faith. Those without faith cannot possibly understand either the truth of the Holy Spirit living within a person or the truths expressed in God’s Word. The faith of a Christian is foolishness to an unbeliever, but the faith of a Christian is his glorious salvation. What a difference!!

I Corinthians 2:4-5 “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on man’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” Your faith is not the result of someone convincing you through human reasoning that God is real. Your faith is a gift of God with the Holy Spirit living within your heart. If faith was a result of persuasion, your faith would be as weak as a house built on sand with the next philosopher providing the thoughts of a salesperson as the foundation of a purchase. Unfortunately, many people buy. Talk with God, study His Word and open your heart.
