The Holy Spirit who comes from God in Jesus Christ’s name is the new way to fulfil the teachings of Jesus, written on hearts of disciples by the word and powerful actions of the Holy Spirit. The teachings are primarily to be lived out in the behaviour of the disciples towards each other. Jesus, the Christ, the light sent by God, took the Law and extracted the brightest of light from it, the Ten Commandments, the command to love God, and the command to love one’s neighbour as oneself. Jesus gave the revelation to his apostle that this no longer means living by the Law of Moses. This Law is, however, fulfilled in the disciples in how the teachings of Jesus and the truth that is in Jesus apply to them. For example, they are no longer to lie to each other, which fulfils one aspect of the Law, but this turning from lying is a result of lying being inappropriate between members together of the one body of Christ. This is all very real, because even today there are those who meet together who do follow Jesus and do have this Holy Spirit, as becomes manifest in their meetings and lives and the Holy Spirit’s works among them. They keep the teachings alive among themselves, and the Holy Spirit works in heavenly power to foster this. Jesus had taught that those who believe he is the light sent by God should hold to his commands and teachings so they become his true disciples. He provided his own blood in dying on a cross in sacrifice for the failings of all to meet the requirements of God, and God raised him from the dead. In hearing this and believing it, the hearers are given miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit by God, in Jesus Christ’s name, to lead them into truth which frees their lives from the vice grip of wrong doing. This leads to eternal life.
