The Holy Spirit distinguishes Himself from all other spirits by His holiness. The Bible uses “holy” in two ways.
1.) exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness. : divine. “Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.Psalm 99:2-3
2.) devoted entirely to the deity or the work of the deity. 1 Peter 1:13-25 calls all people of faith to live a life of holiness. Holy living means that the Christian lives a life that is set apart, reserved to give glory to God. It is a life of discipline, focus, and attention to matters of righteous living.
Job 28:28….And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil is understanding.”
I was reflecting on this verse from Job after being reminded of it a few days ago when a Facebook post from 3/27/17 about Bill studying Job
popped up on my memories. I don’t remember our exact conversation but I do remember that it spurred some reflection on my part then about knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, because I had begun some study of those words through word searches in the Bible concordance.
So today as I was reminded of that time snd us talking about Job I began reflecting again.
One thing I observe is that the Job 28:28 reference has special importance in my understanding of how God used numerals to teach me.
28:28. Interesting numbers……. 28:28 is “Christ Eternity”: “Christ Eternity”
The colon between them indicates The Eternal Christ is present both in the world and in heaven ….. both before his incarnation on earth and beyond it. Essentially, for the person who is pursuing both wisdom and understanding, heaven has come down to her in the incarnational Christ through His Holy Spirit. This is God’s will for us all, to know the incarnational Spirit of God that is in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit by which faith in Jesus Christ is given.
