The Holy Spirit brings life through the implanted word.
John 6:63 'It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.'
The words of Jesus must dwell in us.
The gospel is more than doctrine; it is life.
The Holy Spirit will cause the implanted word to bring forth life within us.
If we are doing works to find life then it will profit us nothing.
All the good works in the world cannot bring peace to the heart;
no sacrificial act can bring the joy of forgiveness;
and no act of penitence can bring us into new life.
The Holy Spirit is able to bring a person into new life
when the word of God is implanted in his or her heart.
