The Gospel of Grace Brought the Spirit to Us
Galatians 3:10 -14
Through this passage over the past couple of weeks, we’ve examined two reasons the gospel of grace transfers us from curse to blessing: it shows us the way of faith and that Christ is the one to consume the curse. The third reason the gospel transfers us from curse to blessing is that it brought the Spirit to us. Because Jesus died and rose, when we believe in him, we become recipients of the Holy Spirit (cf.

Tame the Tongue
(James 3:5)
"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me" has got to be one of the biggest lies of all time. Words can do grave damage, and James knew it, so the Spirit worked his artistry through James by driving him to compare the power of the tongue to a small fire. (1 Minute/250 Words)
