The Spirit of God comes to his people where there is hearing with faith. This is the manner in which the Christian life begins and it is also the manner in which the Christian life continues.1 Justification as well as sanctification is by faith. We do not have to be obedient to God’s law before he gives his Spirit. On the contrary, he gives his Spirit to strengthen us so that we can do the good works that he has prepared in advance (Ephesians 2:10).
5 Celui qui vous accorde l'Esprit, et qui opère des miracles parmi vous, le fait-il donc par les œuvres de la loi, ou par la prédication de la foi?
