Christians are extraordinary, because of the extraordinary Holy Spirit indwelling us. The Word says that as Christ is in heaven, so are we now in this world. This is what we are growing into, by the power of the Holy Spirit within. Transformation is all about a relationship, more about training that trying. Continuing to look at the verbs describing the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, the next one is that He teaches us. He instructs, delivers a discourse and explains truth. He primarily teaches us through the Word, because He inspired the writers of the Bible. Because we have received a heart of flesh when we got born again, we are enabled to understand through the Spirit the truth of this Word which He had inspired. He also illuminates and highlights the Bible to us. It is amazing how He can illuminate a truth with so many pictures and stories to so many different believers, and yet we all get the same point. The Holy Spirit also teaches through the inspired teaching and preaching of the Word, as well as our personal studying of the Word. The Holy Spirit not only teaches truth but enables a person to base their very lives on- and live out that truth. He will teach until the student becomes a teacher. He will teach until truth becomes truth. The Holy Spirit not only teaches but also reminds us of the Word which had been taught or privately read, and that at the appropriate time when you need it, or when you have made a mistake. He teaches us without condemnation, positively, and towards our restoration. He reminds us by re-setting the test we had previously failed. The Holy Spirit also uses the pastor to remind the congregation of the Word, or to bring in discipline where necessary. He also teaches us by the mistakes and examples of others around us. We should take that which the Holy Spirit is speaking to us about seriously, and not resist it and thereby delaying the victory of truth becoming truth in our lives, as well as being transformed into the image of Christ.
