The Finished Word

O dom do Espírito é vital para a redenção da humanidade e a aliança de Deus com seu povo, A Igreja de Jesus Cristo . O Novo Testamento liga o dom do Espírito Santo às “ bênçãos de Abraão ”, a promessa de que Deus abençoará as nações através do Patriarca. O derramamento do Espírito sobre a Igreja é uma das promessas de Deus a Israel, e as escrituras confirmam isso.

Christians become heirs of Abraham through Christ, and the gift of the Spirit is our assurance of participating in the full salvation to come . The possession of Canaan by Israel was an early stage in God’s redemptive plan, which always envisioned something larger than Israel and the small territory of Palestine. With the arrival of Jesus, “ the seed of Abraham ,” and the outpouring of the Spirit, the fulfillment of the covenant promises began.

The gift of the Spirit is one of the blessings of Abraham that God promised to bestow on His people through His Messiah . Paul refers to the “ promise of the Spirit ” in his letter to the Galatians. He equates this gift with the blessing of Abraham. Jesus came under the curse of the Law to redeem us, so that now, “ the blessing of Abraham might come on the nations through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith ” – (Galatians 3:13-14).

O dom do Espírito é fundamental para a Nova Aliança. É o início da nova criação e da reunião das Nações . A história de Israel inclui descrições dos pecados que causaram a expulsão da nação da terra de Canaã. Deus previu os fracassos de Israel e, portanto, determinou fazer uma nova aliança, que é energizada e caracterizada pelo Espírito Santo.

Jesus is the King from the House of David and the Servant of the Lord who endures death to save his people . Jesus is identified in the Gospel of Matthew as the Son of David and the Servant of the Lord. In his ministry and death, Christ demonstrates what it means to be the Messiah of Israel, and he does so by accepting the role of the suffering Servant of the Lord.
