THE SUCCESSFUL CHRISTIAN learns the vocabulary of the Spirit and makes use of it…

He knows the meaning of justification, sanctification, adoption, propitiation, election, inspiration, and so forth.  In understanding God’s vocabulary, we come to understand God’s word and will for our lives.  If the engineering student can grasp the technical terms of chemistry, physics, or electronics, why should it different for Christians, taught by the Spirit, to grasp the vocabulary of Christian truth?  Warren Wiersbe

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the the things that have been freely given to us by God.  These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”  1 Corinthians 2:12-13
