Spirit of Truth

Joh 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

1Jo 5:6 This is the one who came by water and blood-- Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

Heb 8:10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
Joh 14:17 = the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

Heb 4:12 = For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
1Co 14:24 But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all,

2 Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

Spirit of Life

Rom 8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

2Co 3:6 = He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2Co 3:7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,
2Co 3:8 = will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
2Co 3:9 = If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!
2Co 3:10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.
2Co 3:11 And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

2 Cor 15:45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

John 5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;

Rom 5:17 - 19 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

Col 3:4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him."

Spirit and Faith

Rom 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
(Sign of the Kingdom of God) Mat 12:28 = But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Mar 11:22 "Have faith of God," Jesus answered. [Gen 1:3 = And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.]
Mar 11:23 = "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Mar 11:25 = And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Jam 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Jam 2:15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
Jam 2:16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
Jam 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Jam 2:18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
Jam 2:19 = You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-- and shudder.
Jam 2:20 = You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
Jam 2:21 = Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
Jam 2:22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
Jam 2:23 = And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God’s friend.
Jam 2:24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
1Jo 5:3 = This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
1Jo 5:4 = for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Gal 3:5 = Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

2Th 2:13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

Eph 1:13 = And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
Eph 1:14 = who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-- to the praise of his glory.

Col 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Col 1:4 = because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints--
Col 1:5 = the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel
Col 1:6 = that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God’s grace in all its truth.
