Summary
The previous chapter highlighted the importance of the reception of divine righteousness in the “fruit of the Spirit” among humans. This chapter explains the centrality of moral rapport to participation in the koinōnia (communion or fellowship) of the Spirit, with benefit from the Apostle Paul and some of the Hebrew psalmists. It thus identifies a distinctive kind of evidence in moral experience for the reality and the goodness of God, in contrast with either a purely mystical or a purely intellectual approach to such evidence.
