Living in the New Covenant requires allowing the Spirit to dwell within to flow out continually, rather than living under the old covenant's system of fear, punishment, and reward.

True spiritual understanding comes through divine revelation, which changes one's life, unlike studying the Bible which can only puff up knowledge without transforming the heart.

Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 26m · CFC India

Ultimately, the Kingdom of God is defined not by earthly prosperity or physical healing, but by the righteousness of God imputed to us through Christ and manifested internally by the Holy Spirit.
