Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Co 1:12) “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.”   The Holy Spirit had led Paul to live the Christian life with “simplicity”: sincerely lacking of a self-seeking element. Consider that our fallen nature moves us to put self forth in all areas of life, even in the service of God. The Holy Spirit moves our new nature to do just the opposite.
