John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” 1st Thessalonians 5:23 “……………and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless….” John 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh prfiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you they are spirit, and they are life.”
Notice some things, God is A Spirit (then there must be other spirits), You are A spirit, and God’s Word is Spirit! We sometimes use religious terms, and don’t really give much thought to what we are saying; for instance “25 souls got saved last night at Church.” I know what someone is saying when they say that, they are referring to someone receiving Jesus as their Savior. But BIBLICALLY that isn’t correct. Look at what James the half-brother of Jesus says: James 1:21 “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” When we get born-again, our SPIRITS (the inner man, the real you) gets saved (2nd Corinthians 5:17). Then we are supposed to renew our minds (souls) with the Word of God which is a process AFTER the New Birth. The more we renew our minds with the Word of God, we begin to think and act like our Heavenly Father. Faith is not of the mind, faith is of the heart, the inner man.
