The Holy Spirit of God is a person of God. If we seek the purpose of God in His Son for our lives, then why would dismiss the purpose of God for His Spirit in our lives? We must not be ignorant of His Spirit within us!

Catching what God has done for us in Christ will help

us understand the nature of the kingdom and the joy we can have from it (Mt 5; Ps 126).

We can trust the mercy of God toward us in His Son, like all God's redemptive activity; it is based on His Sovereign power and authority.

God is eternal. Therefore He is powerful and sovereign. His sovereignty is displayed in His story of redemption.

The kingdom is the purpose of God to bless those who will accept it. Holding to human expectations kept the Jews from understanding and most from accepting Him as King and so, from the blessings of His kingdom.

God has demonstrated His concern for man and His power to give life to the dead in the story of His Son.

God raised Jesus to immortality, He cannot die again. What does that do for us? Hope, assurance, freedom, and eternal life must come from somewhere. The resurrection of Jesus proves the faithful source of these things!
