Since the Holy Spirit gives only what the Father has already lovingly granted to His Son—for our salvation, growth, and the building of the Temple of the Father, the true body of Christ—we must rely completely on this Spirit as our leader and teacher. Following a teacher we cannot see, who is wholly spirit, is challenging, yet it is essential to trust this guidance fully. Learning to live under the Spirit’s direction may bring opposition from those who feel threatened by a power they cannot control, but it is precisely in this submission that a new order emerges: a life, a community, and a world aligned with God’s wisdom, authority, and love.
