Bible Study

Consider the following. The Apostle Paul wrote that each Christian believer is a “temple” in whom the Holy Spirit dwells (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Maybe you’ve heard this idea before. Jesus used similar imagery and taught that each believer is like a “well” of the Holy Spirit (John 4:1-14, John 7:37-39). In this way, a Christian is similar to a natural well of water. In Jesus’s day, people depended on water wells for refreshment. The strongest, longest-lasting water wells were lined on the inside with stone bricks. And the bricks provided structural reinforcement, preventing contamination and collapse.

Today, the strongest, “longest-lasting” believers are also lined on the inside with “bricks”. These “bricks” are sound teachings from the bible, which provide us with spiritual reinforcement. Biblical teachings help us to mature as Christians and ensure that we, like water wells, can also serve and refresh other people. In this way, the Holy Spirit can use us to help restore broken lives, which is the mission of PT.
