The Scriptures

The Holy Scriptures, the Christian Bible, are the most widely read texts in the whole world, according to several sources.

They are also the most interpreted texts under the filter of traditions, social and religious, which over time have distorted, and still distort, their real meaning, their depth and their beauty.

The books of the OT: Old Testament, were written to reveal the behavior of the complete man, in the presence of God, and later poor and enslaved, in the absence of God.

The books of the NT: New Testament, record the restoration of man, a work accomplished by God himself, through Jesus.

In this restoration, the same process accomplished in Jesus is available to everyone.

And, to avoid the repetition of the process that happened with Adam, this time God pours out his own Spirit on everyone.

So, we are now the sanctuary, the temple, the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, sent by Jesus Christ, completing his work.

Jesus replaced the OT, fulfilling it, leaving us a single new commandment:
Love one another. As I have loved you, you must love one another.

Because God knows our weaknesses and our limitations, Jesus teaches us:
He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says…

He has been speaking for many centuries, and some have listened to his voice, and seek to understand it with their hearts.
These produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. And against such things there is no law.

The path of love revealed, taught, remembered and guided by the Holy Spirit is a still more excellent way.
No matter how far we have walked, there is something new, greater and better ahead of us, things that our eyes have not seen, our ears have not heard, and that have never entered our hearts.

Summing up the Scriptures, the current commandment is: Love…

And everyone who believes responds, with a new way of life, based exclusively on faith in Jesus: Amen!
