 Testimony of Faith: Our World Belongs to God #29

The Spirit renews our hearts and moves us to faith, leads us into truth, and helps us to pray, stands by us in our need, and makes our obedience fresh and vibrant.
God the Spirit lavishes gifts on the church in astonishing variety—prophecy, encouragement, healing, teaching, service, tongues, discernment— equipping each member to build up the body of Christ and to serve our neighbours.
