This is Slade's understanding of the following passage. Please understand the bracketed passages are Slade's interpretation.
Now, if you'd be so kind, let me further explain some foundational truths as I understand them:
"A Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob," declares the LORD "As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the LORD: "My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring's offspring, says the LORD, "from now and forever. Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you" (Isaiah 59:20-60:1)
"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances." (Ezekiel 36:26-27)
To return to the original passage, I remind you of Romans 8:4 which states, "...so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." When I take the perspectives from the other verses stated here, I see that "walking according to the Spirit" is walking in submission to Torah and obeying the commandments of God.
By the way, Dave. I did not refer to commentaries to construct this idea. -- slade |
