Likewise the Spirit Also Helps Our Infirmities: For We Know Not What We Should Pray For As We Ought - Part 1593

"And this I say, [that] the covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect, for if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise ..." (Galatians 3:17-18)

God is Spirit! And indeed, the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters when He created the world. (Genesis 1:3) We also know the Holy Ghost is Spirit because until the day in which Jesus was taken up, after that He [Jesus] through the Holy Ghost gave commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen. (Acts 1:2) And Jesus -- well, He walked into rooms where the doors and windows were shut tight. (John 20:19)

Moreover, His disciples were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit when He found the eleven gathered together in Jerusalem. (Luke 24:33)

"And when the disciples saw Him [Jesus] walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a spirit" [or ghost] and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." (Matthew 14:26-27) But Peter answered Jesus and said, "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water."

Jesus told His disciples that when the Comforter is come, "whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me ..." (John 15:26)

Jesus further clarified His identity when He said, "I AND My Father are One." (John 10:30)

We are sealed with that same holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory. The Spirit of Jesus the Christ within us.

"According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace ... wherein He hath abounded toward us, in all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself." (Ephesians 1:12)

The Father of glory giving unto us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that our understanding be enlightened. (Ephesians 1:18-19)

"And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." (I Timothy 3:16)
