In THE NEW COVENANT, there are three
(3) verses that mention the human spirit and The Divine Spirit in the same verse of Scripture.
- >>John 3:6 says that our spirit is born of The Divine Spirit.
- >>John 4:24 says that GOD is Spirit and they who worship HIM must worship HIM in their spirit and according to The Truth (>>>T#012).
- >>Romans 8:16 says that The Divine Spirit witnesses with our human spirit.
It’s a pity many who have
read THE BIBLE for years
have not profited from
these particular truths
and have stayed sadly
just religious
and far away from
being spiritual.

I. >>John 3:6 - - - “Who is born of the flesh is flesh; and
who is born of The Spirit is spirit.”
- The first Spirit in this verse is GOD’s Spirit and
- the second is our human spirit.
From its context going back
to >>verses 1-5
to >>verses 1-5
- it tells us that our human spirit is
- to be born of The Holy Spirit!
- --- We are to be born twice.
- Our first birth -- from our mother’s womb is
- --- the birth in the flesh;
- our second birth – from GOD, is
- --- our spiritual birth.

by following exactly the way
the 3,000 after they
heard THE GOSPEL
(>>Acts 2:14-36)
preached by Peter ---
responded by believing
& asking
(>>Acts 2:37)
what they had to do
& told by Peter to
>>Acts 2:38 on that
Pentecost Day of A.D. 33.
>>> Grade II ~ REPENTANCE
>>> Grade III-A ~ The ONE BAPTISM to Obey
II. >>John 4:24 - - - “GOD is Spirit and they who worship HIM must
worship HIM in their spirit and according to The Truth.”
When we worship
GOD, we
must worship HIM
in our spirit.
GOD, we
must worship HIM

As human beings, we have many organs:
- eyes for seeing
- ears for hearing
- mouth for speaking/singing/eating
- nose for smelling/breathing
- hands for holding/working
- feet for standing/walking/running, etc. ....
--- as examples.
They are all of
the body –
made from dust
from the earth.

We also have what

- It is GOD's "equipping gadget"
- for man to live THE LIFE approved by HIM
- while in this world
- --- in the spiritual realm!
It is the human spirit.
- With it, we are to receive GOD and
- "contain" GOD as
- to get HIM
- to be in us
- [INDWELT by HIM]
so that we can keep
communicating or
praying with GOD
and
worship GOD
at HIS prodding

* Consider the
example of breathing to take in air for our body’s oxygen requirement.
- We need to have and use our lungs.
- We cannot use our hands to grasp the air nor
- our nose to contain it within us.
- Our hands can just feel it
- our nose can just breath it in or out
- our ears can just hear it.
There is the organ designed
for receiving, containing and
delivering air to our body's
various organs' need for
OXYGEN actually in
the air; and
it is our lungs.

delivering air to our body's

- Whenever we inhale air
- we receive air into our lungs.
Likewise, our human spirit is
the proper component in us
to receive GOD.

- It is utterly wrong to say
- there is no GOD
- just because
- we cannot see HIM or
- grasp HIM.
We cannot see
HIM or grasp HIM

- unless we locate HIM
- when HE is already in us
- in the right component in us.
Just as we have
our lungs
to keep the supply of
oxygen for
our continued
existence
in this world

- from where we are to heed GOD's instructions

- be on-line with HIM
- >>>T#014
- while we are in this world!
- >>>T#032
GOD is ever-present, even
omni-present; unlike
us who are subject to time
and space-location!

BUT, if you are not

INDWELT by HIM

- HE is just around you,

IF
you try to understand and
grasp HIM with your organs
made from dust ....

IF you try to feel or reason out HIS presence
THEREFORE, you still have
to go, hear & heed
to go, hear & heed
HIS written WORD
- (>>1st Peter 1:23 = >>Acts 2:14-36)
- believe in ... and REALIZE ... THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS in you
- and not just BELIEVE ONLY
....... follow The Way
the 3,000 did what Peter
exactly told them on
that PENTECOST Day of
A.D. 33
(>>Acts 2:37-38)

- and thereafter .......
live THE LIFE according to
>>Acts 2:40-47.
>>Acts 2:40-47.
III. >>Romans 8:16 - - - “The Spirit HIMSELF bears witness with our spirit, that we
are children of GOD.”
Repeatedly, this is
what we have been
experiencing.
what we have been
experiencing.
- Many times we have had that outward sensation
- that we belong to The Father
- that we are His children
- that we are being taken cared of by Him
- as we read THE SCRIPTURES.
Yes, how many times
HAVE we KNOWN HIS
workings in our living
- (while we read THE SCRIPTURES)
- ..... through our spirit
- but have not known them in our
- (1) intuition, (2) conscience, and (3) sense of communion with HIM
- ..... (because we did not know the 3-above constitute our spirit)
- and therefore have not understood them
- in our soul
- because we did not know that
- our soul & our spirit are also
- different from each other
- >>Hebrews 4:12!
How many times
later after that
later after that
- DID we UNDERSTAND after
- discerning HIS WISDOM come to us
- in those manner of realizations?
Only as we read to-know &
to understand of HIM,
HIS LORDSHIP
&
HIS CHRISTHOOD,
HIS conceived plan
of our RELATIONSHIP
with HIM
to understand of HIM,
HIS LORDSHIP
&
HIS CHRISTHOOD,
HIS conceived plan
of our RELATIONSHIP
with HIM
(Find time refer to among others ---- The Treatises that interests you of blogBOOK#6, I prayed you will!)
- with our fellowmen,
- of the devils' schemes,
- even more particularly with
- ---- all from THE BIBLE
- can we comprehend more deeply
- after or just as
- we listen to our spirit (>>John 3:6),
- pray in our spirit (>>1st Corinthians 14:15)
- worship GOD in our spirit (>>John 4:24), and
- in our spirit
- enjoy GOD
- walk with GOD
- live by and
- be one with GOD (>>Romans 8:16).
Simply put,
this-ought-to-be
HOW
CHRISTIANS
ought-to-live
