Just by way of review, just to go back a little bit, chapter one, what we're looking at and what the premise of the whole class is that our life is like a series of books. And the shelf is like a bookshelf, and the bookshelf is analogous, if you will, to the salvation we have in Christ. So we have somewhere to put our books, and yet the books which consist of both spiritual and our natural lives, our spiritual lives, natural lives. sitting on a shelf is good, but even with the shelf we need.
Bookends. Anybody that's tried to put books or VCR tapes or anything like that on top of a shelf with no bookends in it, we know what it's like. You go to take one, it's like dominoes. They go flying all over the place, so.
so God in His grace, and the premise of the book, and it's a good one I said before, I'm not real crazy about a lot of Christian books, especially ones I used to be a pro golfer, and now I'm saved. So here's the 18 hole secret to a victorious Christian life and all the cheesy analogies and stuff, but this one, even though it's a bookshelf, etc. it's great. It's a great and it's an easy read, but on one bookend.
We're gonna spend, we, we're gonna spend a total of 5 weeks on the righteousness of Christ, which those books our lives have to have to lean on. The righteousness of Christ on one side and then the Holy the power of the Holy Spirit on the other, and I thank Him for taking on, The task of of actually teaching about the power of the Holy Spirit to us non-charismatic folks, that's a good thing. It's a good thing to know what the power of the Holy Spirit is biblically. I think sometimes as we talked about a couple of weeks ago, we do tend to shy away from that topic....
