Episode Summary

Have you ever wished you had someone to explain all the how’s and what’s that are hard to understand and even harder to apply to our lives? In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen discuss the theological concept of illumination. The Holy Spirit is our source of spiritual illumination. 

Topics We Discussed in this Episode

●     [5:45]            Illumination is the method used by the Holy Spirit to bring divine light upon every seeking person as we look into the Word of God.            

●     [11:30]          We see in the doctrine of illumination a bit of God’s sovereignty coupled with our own responsibility.  

●     [12:38]          The Holy Spirit delights in partnering with us as He performs His work of illumination in our hearts. 

●     [16:00]          Live as a student of God’s Word and find joy in discovering things in the Bible that, without the illuminating work of the Spirit, we might never discover.
