Building Blocks of Faith - The Holy Spirit & the Creed
Romans 12:1-21
I ask you, beloved family in Christ, by the mercy of God: do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed. God will renew your minds, so that you may understand the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.
By God’s grace I say to everyone among you: do not think of yourself more highly than you should, but think with clear judgment, and recognize that everyone has been given a measure of faith by God. One body has many parts, and not all the parts have the same purpose. In the same way, we are many, but we are one body in Christ, and also members of each other. We have different gifts according to the grace God gives us: if truth-telling, in proportion to faith; if service, in serving; if a teacher, in teaching; if prayer, in praying; if a giver, in generosity; if a leader, in diligence; the merciful, in cheerfulness.
So among you: let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another; honor each other. Do not give up easily, be earnest in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the community, and show hospitality to strangers.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be proud, but be among the humble; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; live in peace with those around you. As the proverb goes: “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
John 14:16-17,26-27,16:12-14
After he had washed their feet, Jesus said to his disciples, “I will ask the Father, and God will give you another advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive; it cannot see or understand the Spirit. But you can, for the Spirit dwells with you, and will be within you. The Father will send the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, in my name. The Advocate will teach you everything, and remind you of everything I said to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, you will be led into all truth. This Spirit will speak what the Father longs to say, and will tell you what is to come. The Spirit will glorify me; the Spirit will take what I have and declare it to all of you.
