Jesus has set you free.
Hello,
The Word of God tells us that we, as people of planet earth, are three-dimensional beings. We are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. Without an understanding of this truth, it is impossible to understand the Bible.
God is a Spirit. I am a spirit. I have a soul. I have a mind, emotions and a will. My mind, emotions and will make up my soul. The spirit and soul make up the inward man. They can only be divided by the Word of God. The Word of God defines the difference between the spirit and the soul.
When you are born again your spirit is recreated. You no longer belong to the family of satan. You belong to the family of the God of the Bible.
As a believer, your soul needs to be renewed with the Word of God. Your thinking must change. When you think like Jesus, you will talk like Him and act like Him.
Your body is your outward man. The Bible says your body grows progressively older every day, but your spirit man is renewed day by day. The real you, the spirit man, never gets older.
Regularly remind yourself that you are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. Your spirit has been separated unto God. Your soul is being renewed day by day with the Word of God. Your body (what you do and what you say) is coming into agreement with the way you think.
Every believer should be thinking more and more like Jesus every day. Every believer should be talking more and more like Jesus every day. Every believer should be acting like Jesus more and more every day.
Have a good day,
Bill
