The Bible uses the example of the physical body to teach us about belonging to the spiritual body of Christ, the church. We have variety, but unity. We have an essential role to play. We are interdependent. We find our significance in Jesus, not our gifting.

Every Christian has at least one special skill or ability which enables them to contribute to the whole body of Christ with ease, pleasure, and effectiveness. Do you know what yours is? Are you serving with it?

When we trusted Christ, we received the Holy Spirit to indwell us and with Him came all of the wisdom and depths of God to live this new life. Every moment of your life, the wisdom to live God’s will God’s way is being revealed through the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of God that ignites the facts of Scripture and empowers faith through the stirring of our feelings. It is unhealthy and at times sinful to ignore or suppress the Spirit’s moving us emotionally. Let's learn to let our feelings flow!

All believers have the power to live the Christian life. That happens as we are "filled with the Spirit". That means we live under the influence of the Holy Spirit to walk like Jesus. It means the Spirit is in charge. He has full control. And He moves us in the direction He decides we should go.

Without the Holy Spirit we were at the mercy of sin's power. But with the Spirit, we have a new power to defeat sin in our lives. When we walk by the Spirit and set our minds on the "things of the Spirit" we rise to a dimension of living never known before.
