Simpson emphasizes the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, moving from a distant understanding to an intimate relationship where the Spirit dwells within us. He highlights the dual presence of Christ, both in our hearts and in the events of our lives, empowering us to experience His miraculous works. The sermon encourages believers to recognize the Holy Spirit as their all- sufficient Guardian and wonder-worker, capable of performing extraordinary acts in our lives today, just as He did in biblical times. Simpson reassures that the power of God is at work within us, enabling us to achieve beyond our expectations. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper reliance on the Holy Spirit to fulfill the righteousness of the law in our lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In our earlier experiences we know the Holy Spirit only at a distance, in things that happen in a providential direction or in the Word alone. But after a while we receive Him as an inward Guest, and He dwells in our hearts. He speaks to us in the innermost chambers of our being. The external working of His power does not cease; rather, it increases and seems even more glorious. The Power that dwells within us works outside us, answering prayer, healing sickness, overruling providences, doing exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20). There is a double presence of the Lord for the consecrated believer. He is present in the heart and is mightily present in the events of life. He is the Christ in us and the Christ of all our days, with all power in heaven and earth. The Holy Spirit is our wonder-worker, our all- sufficient God and Guardian. And He is waiting in these days to work as mightily in the affairs of men as in the days of Moses, of Daniel and of Paul. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/ab-simpson/that-the-righteousness-of-the-law-might-be-fulfilled-in-us/ ========================================================================
