The doctrine of the
transition
����������� 1. Just as the Holy Spirit sustained
the humanity of Christ through His earthly ministry, so the indwelling Spirit
sustains the believer in phase two � John 14:12. This says very simply that the
works that Jesus Christ produced will be produced by the believer when he is
controlled by the Holy Spirit � �greater works� is greater in number, not in
quality.
� ��������� 2.
However, the sustaining ministry of the Spirit depends on being filled with the
Spirit � Ephesians 5:18; Galatians 5:16; 1 John 1:7.
����������� 3. When the believer is filled with
the Spirit the very character of the incarnate Christ is formed in that
believer � Galatians 4:19; 5:22,23; Ephesians 3:16,17; Philippians 1:20,21; 2
Corinthians 3:3.
����������� 4. Therefore the transitional command
to all believers in the Church Age � Romans 13:14, �Put ye on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.�
