This week Trent spoke about the question of why God was more active in Bible times than he is today. Trent gave two answers to that question. First he explained that God works differently in different times. God has a grand plan, and his plan involves many time periods where God does not reveal himself as clearly to his people. As Trent showed us there is a four hundred year gap between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. In that time period, God seemed like he was less active than he had been in previous times. For us today, it has been almost two thousand years since the last time we had more books added to the Bible, and it seems like God has been less active than he was in the past. This is all a part of the plan that God has for mankind. The second answer that Trent gave was that God is, in fact, still active in the world today. When Jesus left he said that he would send something even better than himself, he would send the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is active in the life of believers across the world. He does miracles today, in leading people to Christ and in helping people to follow Christ better. Since God is still working, we need to still be seeking to have him work in our lives. He will change us from the inside out if we allow him to work in us.
