How absolutely vital it is for every Christian to gain an understanding of the New
Testament teaching about the Spirit-filled life! It is because this subject is so neglected
and so little understood that many Christians are living on a very low level of Christian
experience. Their lives are powerless and joyless and their service produces little real
fruit. For the same reason many of our churches are struggling, and the forces of darkness
seem to gain ground on every hand. The greatest need for every Christian is to be filled
with the Holy Spirit; let us consider some vital aspects of this important truth.
In Numbers 6:1-12 we have God’s call to every one of His children to live a separated life. To be saved and to know it is wonderful ( 2 Tim. 1:12 ), but it is not enough. All the way though the Word of God the call comes to us to be separated people – look up 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1. In the Bible separation is always presented as a two-fold experience – separation from and unto. Separation from is mentioned in Numbers 6:3; separation unto is indicated in Numbers 6:2. Thus, by a separated life we mean a life that is separated from all that is contrary to God’s will, and separated ( or dedicated ) to God Himself, for His use and for His glory alone. Let us consider all that this involves.
