Counsel #6 — Made New By The Spirit

Picture: Counsel #6 — Made New By The Spirit CSL 48.1

Internalizing God’s Bible truth will renew every part of you—your mind, thoughts, heart, and strength. Practically speaking this means that how we treat our bodies will affect the vigor and purity of our minds and hearts.^[48] Every Christian who truly loves Jesus will have an experience with Him resulting in holiness and freedom from all guilt. Now your glow of perfect love for Jesus reflects the Light of heaven. God will speak His mysteries to you personally, for your soul and body are in harmony with God. CSL 48.2

“Let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.” Ephesians 4:23 NLT CSL 48.3

“The Spirit is given as a regenerating agency, to make effectual the salvation wrought by the death of our Redeemer. The Spirit is constantly seeking to draw the attention of men to the great offering that was made on the cross of Calvary, to unfold to the world the love of God, and to open to the convicted soul the precious things of the Scriptures.” Ellen White in Acts of the Apostles, p. 52 CSL 48.4

Reflect: Describe the longing in your heart for your whole being to be made new by the Spirit. CSL 48.5
