======================================================================== THE SPIRIT OF GOD REVEALING THE THINGS OF GOD by Andrew Murray ======================================================================== Summary: The Gospel reveals God's righteousness and justifies the ungodly, and we need divine wisdom and the Spirit of God to understand and receive this gift. Topics: "Divine Wisdom", "Righteousness of God" Scripture References: John 16:13, Romans 1:17, Romans 3:21-22, Romans 8:1, 1 Corinthians 1:30, 1 Corinthians 2:12-13, Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 1:17-18, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 John 2:20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Murray emphasizes the significance of the Gospel as a revelation of God's righteousness, particularly in relation to the law, as preached by Paul in the Epistle to the Romans. He highlights that true wisdom, as sought by the Corinthians, comes from the Spirit of God, who enables believers to understand the divine truths and gifts freely given by God. The sermon underscores the necessity of relying on the Holy Spirit to grasp the depth of God's wisdom and righteousness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the Epistle to the Romans, people who gave law a place in the world it never had before, and whose influence still rules in our modern world, Paul preached the Gospel in its relation to law. The Gospel was a revelation of the righteousness of God, and revealed the way in which he himself was righteous, and could righteously accept the ungodly as righteous too. The Corinthians were a people with whom wisdom was everything. In the epistle to them Paul shows the need for divine wisdom. As no man knoweth the things of God save the Spirit of God, so we receive the Spirit of God so that we may know the things that are freely given us of God.
