Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his love,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with the rich life after the spirit as we pick up in 1st Peter chapter 1 verse 18 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck for as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things

as silver and gold from that empty former life.

Again, as obedient children not fashioning yourselves according to the

former lust in your ignorance. No longer ignorant of the things of God and the things of the Spirit.

So we no longer live that empty life after the flesh,

but now the rich life after the spirit. We've been redeemed, set free from the

bondage of sin, set free from the slavery to our flesh. Not with

corruptible things as silver and gold. Silver and gold have only temporal value.

There is no eternal value to them at all,

only temporal value.

When you're talking about a man's soul, you're talking about something that is eternal.
