I was thinking about something I said in a previous blog about God’s Spirit using God’s Word. It’s interesting to see the parallels. I find pretty often, God’s Spirit will bring to mind something I’ve read in Scripture as a way to guide or correct me. Check these out sometime and reflect on the importance of both following God’s Spirit and knowing God’s Word:

Both the Spirit and Word search the heart: Romans 8:27, Hebrews 4:12
We are indwelt by both: 1 Corinthians 3:16, Colossians 3:16
We are to be filled with both: Ephesians 5:18, Colossians 1:9-12
We are born again by both: John 3:5-7, 1 Peter 1:22-25
We are washed clean by both: Titus 3:5-6, Ephesians 5:25-27
We are sanctified (grown up spiritually) by both: 1 Peter 1:2, John 17:17
We are set free by both: Romans 8:2, John 8:31-36
We are made competent by both: 2 Corinthians 3:5-6, 2 Timothy 3:16
We find hope in both: Romans 15:13, Romans 15:4
We overcome by both: 1 John 4:4, 1 John 2:14
We find joy through both: Ephesians 5:18-19, Colossians 3:16
We stay connected, abiding in Christ by both: 1 John 3:24
