They both have one thing in common, they deadSo often so many try to carry the effects of the physically dead over to the effects of the spiritually dead.
If a person is unregenerate person just in nature, God doesnt command him to do a spiritual act. If a person has been born of the Spirit, God commands them to do spiritual acts. Its that simple.When God said do this or that and one does this or that as god commanded, is that an unspiritual act?
Paul as all them who have been born of the Spirit have two natures, one spiritual and one natural. Sometimes one with two natures may perform acts according to one of the two natures. But the unregenerate with just one nature, the flesh, they're limited to just performing acts according to that nature. The regenerate have an advantage spiritually over the unregenrate.In point of fact, as Paul relates in Romans 7 for a spiritual man to do unspiritual acts is natural for him to do.
