Fever–Sin's Restlessness "When Jesus was come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And He touched her hand, and the fever left her" (Mat_8:14-15).

The Spirit Bears Witness "For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One" (1Jn_5:7). The work of the Holy Spirit is preeminently to convict the world concerning Christ, and, to instruct the believer concerning Christ. He convicts the world of sin because … Continue reading “1413. The Spirit Bears Witness”

Ye Have Not His Word "And ye have not His Word abiding in you: for Whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not.
