Man was created in the same class with God. He is an eternal spirit.
Man was created in the same class with God. He is an eternal spirit.
His senses were given to him to contact the physical world. He was given reasoning faculties so that he might use the knowledge that his senses conveyed to his brain.
Behind the sense-ruled reasoning faculties is the real man, who is a spirit.
The Church, as a whole, is unfamiliar with the recreated spirit. What we call our conscience, is really the voice of the spirit. If one could learn to listen to his recreated spirit, and keep in intimate fellowship with the Father and the Word, there is no limit to where he could go in spiritual things.
The Holy Spirit was given to guide us into all truth, or reality. He finds it a very difficult thing to lead our reasoning faculties, but it is the normal and natural thing for Him to lead our spirits.
We have never realized that love is a product of the spirit, and not of the reasoning faculties. Faith is also a product of the spirit.
We are talking of the Recreated spirit which has received the nature and life of the Father.
It has become united with Christ and received Eternal Life. Eternal Life is the nature of the Father, and that nature is Love. Love is the mother of faith.
You can have no deep faith life without a love life.
The Recreated spirit is also the fountain of wisdom, and all of the other fruits of the spirit mentioned in Galatians 5 :22.
The Hidden Man.
