Your Sermon today on Ezekiel 36.27 were very good. Your words on the importance of the context of Scripture were good to hear. The example of John 3.16 was clear: just looking at the first half only would stop a person short from the Truth! We must look into the whole story. As you said, the context of Ezekiel 36.27 is key to understanding the verses. It's very true that in real salvation, GOD never goes halfway! Everything He begins, He continues; and what He continues, He completes.

Thank you for these good Truths. We must read the whole context of Scripture, not just part of it. In the work of salvation, God never goes halfway! Man is often inconsistent and frequently does not finish what he begins. In creation, God did not create a half earth. God is not a God of confusion! All that God continues He completes. This work of salvation involves many dear parts, but man cannot look through these parts and pick out what he chooses. We must submit to God!

Thank you for your good words about Scriptural study and that the Context is King and the Text is Queen and that Scripture explains itself. If we read the whole Context of Scripture, we can know the Truth of GOD'S Word. We should be careful that we don't twist Scripture to mean what we want it to mean. In your Sermon, we see that it is clear GOD wants to give HIS SPIRIT to those that HE has forgiven and cleansed from their sins. HE then gives HIS SPIRIT to help us to live right and obey HIM!
