Section 13
of letter." This verse points to the relationship between the Spirit and service. If we are not in the Spirit, we cannot serve the Lord. In 1:9 Paul said that it was in his spirit that he served God in the gospel. The more we are in the spirit, the more we serve the Lord as willing bondslaves. We shall say, "Lord Jesus, as Your bondslave, I am willing to serve You."
Preaching the Gospel
Finally, the genuine preaching of the gospel is in the Spirit. This gospel includes the entire content of the book of Romans.
Perhaps you have never seen before that holi ness, life, law, peace, joy, hope, love, power, serv ice, and the preaching of the gospel are all related to the Spirit. In fact, the Spirit Himself is the real ity of all these items to us in our experience. If we have the Spirit, then we also have all these marvelous items. When these items are added together, they equal sanctification, transforma tion, conformation, and glorification. All this is the reality of resurrection. The more these ten items become our experience, the more we enjoy resurrection by the Spirit and with life. What we need today is not the objective teachings, but the practical contact with the Lord by turning
on the switch. As we call upon the name of the Lord, we touch the Spirit, who is the realization and application of the Triune God. In this way we experience being designated the sons of God by the Spirit and with life.
