2 Corinthians 3:4-6, The Spirit Giveth Life
A. J. Gordon, in the story entitled “Greatest Unused Power”, observed interestingly, “An American with an English gentleman was viewing the Niagara whirlpool rapids, when he said to his friend: “Come, and I’ll show you the greatest unused power in the world.” And taking him to the foot of Niagara Falls, “There,” he said, “is the greatest unused power in the world!” “Ah, no, my brother, not so!” was the reply. “The greatest unused power in the world is the Holy Spirit of the living God.””ยน
The Apostle Paul’s life was a testimony of the power of the Holy Spirit unleashed. Souls were converted and brought to life when the gospel was preached and the new converts painstakingly nurtured so that the Holy Spirit will fill that new life with power. This was how the church in Corinth began.
