A LIFE OF GOODNESS

Romans 14:17
For the Kingdom of God is not
a matter of what we eat or drink,
but of living a life of goodness
and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.



The Holy Spirit is the third person in the trinity of God, a composite unity. He is not some kind of power or might, but rather a person as we learn from Zechariah 4:6, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty." The Holy Spirit tells us of the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ leading our lives to goodness and peace - if we allow Him control in our lives. Ephesians 4:30 gives us some specific instructions to bear when the Word says, "And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he is the one who has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption." Let the Holy Spirit into your life, let Him have His way and it's guaranteed that you'll have a life of goodness.
