[Dr. Eckleburg]

Boasting with words about the "indwelling spirit" or being the "mouthpiece of God" or being "saved by faith" are just empty words that prove nothing. Words are cheap. Real believers will live a life through which people we recognize Christ in them.

The only ones who will "recognize Christ in them" are those whom have been likewise given eyes to see and ears to hear by God alone.

It all gets back to God and His perfect gifts to whom He chooses. He loved us before we loved Him.

If you don't recognize the good fruits of the Holy Spirit, that's quite a loss.

Words are cheap.

Some men's words might be "cheap," but the words of God are not...

"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." -- Proverbs 4:20-22

---

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." -- John 6:63

[MarkBsnr]

***The only ones who will “recognize Christ in them” are those whom have been likewise given eyes to see and ears to hear by God alone.***

The secret indwelling handshake for the elite club of former high school student council officers, no doubt.

***If you don’t recognize the good fruits of the Holy Spirit, that’s quite a loss.***

Taunted any non elites today with the impossibility of salvation for them?

It's not the "hearing" and "seeing" that matters, but what you do with them.
