What You'll Discover in this Episode:

The Freely Given Things by God

We Christians have the spirit of God living in our lives. We have received, "not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God."

We started out with the spirit that was of the world, the spirit of man, the spirit of self, the spirit that creates counseling needs, the spirit of the world, driven by self for self. That's what we were - past tense.

Now, we've received a new spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit who is from God. Now, we’ve received the Spirit who is from God for this purpose: “...that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.”

In this podcast, Pastor Jeff talks more about these freely given things by God and what our attitude towards them should be as Christians. 

What are the freely given things of God?

1. They’re the things you can’t ever deserve, but you need. 
2. You can’t deserve them, but you need them. 
3. You can’t ever earn them. 
4. They’re priceless. They’re not for sale. 
5. You can’t manufacture them on your own. 
6. They have to come from God. 
7. They’re the freely given things of God.
