Feeling so free and so happy-at-home-doing-nothing that i feel like blogging once again haha...
In the sermon i went yesterday by Pastor Stephen Tong, he mentioned about why we cannot see God and i think its really worth to be shared.
Anything that can be seen in this world has the nature of a matter. And God created every matter in the this world. God, however, is never a part of His own creation. Therefore, God cannot be visible as it is a characteristic of His creation.
In a similar concept, God can also transcend time and space as they too are part of His creation.
But still, God sent down His Son as fully human, into the created world, to bring salvation to us, His creation
"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known" (John 1:18)
------------------------------
I mentioned in the previous post that i would share about the focus seminar last friday. It was about the work of the Holy Spirit as part of the Trinity. I shall be brief and straightforward.
1. The Spirit replaces Jesus as our Counsellor after His ascension to Heaven (John 14:16-18)
2. The Spirit points us to Jesus (John 14:25-26; 16:12-14)
3. The Spirit convicts us in regard to Judgment (John 16: 8-11)
4. The Spirit enlightens us in understanding God's Word (1 Cor 2:13-14)
5. The Spirit regenerates us by giving us new birth (John 6:63; 1 Peter 1:23)
6. The Spirit indwells among us (John 14:17; Romans 8:9; 1 Cor 12:13)
7. The Spirit transforms us to be like Jesus (Roman 8:29; 2 Cor 3:18)
8. The Spirit assures and unites us as a church (Roman 8:16)
9. The Spirit provides us with spiritual gift (1 Cor 12:7)
yup thats all i have to share. Being brief and straighforward is awesome! lol
