Salvation Is The Foundational Will
- The first and primary will of God is that you be saved by faith in Christ.
- Only those who believe in the Son have capacity to know and experience God's will.
Be Spirit-Filled Through Scripture
- Be filled with the Holy Spirit by submitting to His control rather than chasing ecstatic experiences.
- Pursue Spirit-control through obedience to Scripture because the Spirit reveals God's Word.
Word And Spirit Are One Path
- Being controlled by the Spirit and letting the Word dwell richly are the same outcome.
- The Scriptures are the mind of the Spirit and thus the means of Spirit-control.
