Let us set aside our investigation of God. He searcheth us. Our mind is never right. But God knows the mind of the Spirit in us; and this mind, because it is known of God and is the mind of the Spirit, is right-minded. In human fashion no man and no thing can make intercession for us. We stand alone, and are lost. But, according to the will of God, the Spirit intercedeth for us, and we are saved. Apart form the intercession of the Spirit we are sinners. But God names us saints. He makes us saints, using for our fashioning nothing that we are or have been or shall be. He makes us His saints, His separated ones, His instruments, because of that intercession. And He that intercedes for us is the Spirit, the Hope, the Truth, Jesus Christ.
