The Spirit Filled Life: Our New Covenant Privilege

The Spirit Filled Life: Our New Covenant Privilege by Sandeep Poonen

I want to write some present meditations on the Holy Spirit and our lives. I say “present” because I know that I am barely scratching the surface of these truths. I am fully aware of the fact that I still look through a mirror dimly, even as I talk about the Third Person of the Divine Trinity. Therefore, I do not speak as one who has complete knowledge, but as one who has read the Scriptures and experienced first-hand the life of the Holy Spirit.

I am sure that in a decade or two, I will see even more clearly, but I do not think that I am wrong at the present time to try to describe to you the beauty of this precious diamond-the Third Person of the Trinity. Still, I trust that as I gaze on Him more and more, He will give me greater understanding and greater ability to express my thoughts.

Explaining the workings and ministry of the Holy Spirit within a person is like trying to explain and predict how the wind moves. Just as we cannot bottle up the wind, we cannot reduce the Holy Spirit to a few bullet points or a numbered list. Please do not take what I write here as a formula. Our confidence is in God’s Word, and faith comes from hearing the Words of Christ spoken to us (Romans 10:17). I share these meditations in the hope that maybe even just one point or one verse will be the right Word for you, the reader.

I hope that you read this short book, and anything else that I might have written, knowing the limitations with which I write.
