The Spirit of God
Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit who is from God,
that we might know
the things that have been
freely given to us by God.
1 Corinthians 2:12
1 Corinthians 2:12
Not only can money and material possessions not satisfy the desires of the heart or bring the lasting happiness they deceptively promise, but they also blind those who pursue them to eternal, spiritual concerns (1 Timothy 6:9,10)
