Who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life

 Indwelling:

           

            New covenant of the Spirit:

 

2 Corinthians 3:6

6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

 

1 Corinthians 6:17

17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

 

            Man tries to devise a way to live the Christian life. He comes up with ways for him to do it. But the covenant of God is one of the Spirit, not the flesh of man. If man could live up to it, then there would be no need for God … for Jesus to give His life a ransom for many. This covenant that man would devise will eventually kill him. The covenant that we follow is one of the Spirit, and it gives life everlasting. When we became Christians, we were united with God in the Spirit. We were as the verse says, one Spirit with Him. God’s own life-giving Spirit living within us to enable us to live this covenant.

 

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "When you join yourself unto Me, you will have established a covenant relationship that cannot be broken. I will not let you down. I will never desert you. You are My special one, and I will join together with you in a New Covenant relationship. You will never be alone nor deserted again. The world has deserted you; your special friends and family have deserted you; but I will never desert you for I cannot desert My own. My Spirit dwells within you, and I cannot desert Myself.”

 

            47. I have become a servant of a new covenant of the Spirit which brings life to me and those I come in contact with every day.
