Keep in Step

"The Spirit, for Paul, is at the center of Christian discipleship. Repeatedly, where modern evangelicals might be inclined to point people first to the Bible, or the gospel - pray in the Bible, rejoice in the gospel, be led by the Bible, find assurance in the gospel, experience God’s love through the Bible, keep in step with the gospel, and so on - Paul points people first to the Spirit. The chief actor in the sanctification of the believer is not a message, but a Messenger: a person who can be grieved or honored, not just a word that can be rejected or believed. The third person of the Trinity, for Paul, was a dynamic, experienced reality. "
-Andrew Wilson, Spirit and Sacrament
