Sermon Tone Analysis

*Pro 8:20* *“The spirit of man /is/ the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”*

*Rom 8:14-16* (*Turn*)

 

 

Wuest, *Rom 8:14-16*, *“For as many as are being constantly led by God’s Spirit, these are sons of God.

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery again with resulting fear, but you received the Spirit who places you as adult sons, by whom we cry out with deep emotion, Abba, [namely] Father.

The Spirit himself is constantly bearing joint-testimony with our [human] spirit that we are God’s children, and since children, also heirs; on the one hand, heirs of God, on the other, joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we are suffering with Him in order that we also may be glorified together, for I have come to a reasoned conclusion that the sufferings of the present season are of no weight in comparison to the glory which is about to be revealed upon us.*[1]

In *Gen 1:26* it says, *“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:”*

And in *Verse 27* it says, *“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”*

In *John** 4:24*Jesus said, *“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”*

But listen to it in the *Wuest translation*, *“God as to His nature is spirit, and for those who are worshipping, it is necessary in the nature of the case to be worshipping in a spiritual sphere, and in the sphere of truth.”*[2]

Jesus said in *John** 6:63*, *“The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

*

 

In *1 Thess.

5:23* Paul says, *“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”*

In *Phil 1:23-24* *“For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.”*

And then in *2 Cor 4:16* it says, *“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”*
