The Scripture as we all know refers to the Holy Bible(also known as
The word of God).
On the other hand, the Spirit (with a capital 'S') refers to the
HolySpirit (or the HolyGhost).
At the moment we become christians(having confessed and repented of
our sins and accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour), we have, in
order words
, entered through the narrow gate, thus standing on the
doorway that leads to heaven.
As pilgrims, who have embarked on this journey that leads to live
eternal, we need guidance, instructions, supervision and direction, so
as to avoid slipping or sliding into falsehood and perdition.
Hence the need for the SCRIPTURE and the SPIRIT.
THE BIBLE - AN INSTRUMENT FOR INSTRUCTION AND DIRECTION
'All Scripture(The Bible) is given by inspiration of God and is
profitable for doctrine, for correction, for reproof, for
INSTRUCTION(for direction and guidance) in righteousness'.
[2Tim.3:16].
'Thy word(The Bible, The word of God) is a lamp (is a guide) unto my
feet, and a light (an illumination) unto my paths. [Psalm119:105].
Do you regard God's word (The Bible) as an instrument of direction and
supervision?.
Do you allow God's word control your actions?
THE HOLYSPIRIT - A TEACHER AND A GUIDE
'But the Comforter, which is the HolyGhost, whom the Father will send
in my name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS AND BRING TO YOUR
REMEMBERANCE WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU'.[John14:26].
Do you allow the HolySpirit have His way or do you struggle with the HolySpirit.
THE SPIRIT CANNOT CONTRADICT THE SCRIPTURES
We must understand that:
-God is not an author of confusion [1Cor.14:33].
-The Scripture(The Bible) cannot be broken (it cannot be out of
order). [John10:35].
-God's word (as revealed in the Bible) changes not [1Peter1:23, Matt.24:35].
The HolySpirit can never instructs us to do what God's word kicks against.
The HolySpirit works in consonance with the Holy Scriptures.
Jesus told His disciples saying: '...the HolyGhost...shall...bring all
things to your rememberance, WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID TO YOU
[John14:25].
The HolyGhost will never tell us to do away with the words of Christ
and that of His disciples, instead He will REMIND and RE-AFFIRM to us
what has been said in the HolyScriptures.
MAY GOD MAKE YOU A VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN AS YOU DECIDE TO LIVE BY THE
GUIDANCE AND LEADING OF THE SPIRIT AND THE SCRITPURE IN THIS NEW YEAR.
