Do you understand John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” ? I AM SURE YOU MUST.
1 Corinthians 2:10-12
10 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
11 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
Are you aware that YOU were made as a tripartite individual.... with spirit, soul and body?
In 1 Thes 5:23 we are told.....Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is your spirit that communicates with God.... through the Holy Spirit.
As I posted already in John 4:24 “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
We communicate with God through our spirits. Our spirits communicate with the Holy Spirit.
When we were born each was given a spirit. Eccl 12:7 says then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
Our bodies return to the earth, and the life-giving breath returns to God.
Many error in saying the spirit and soul are the same... that is not true because Our souls can be destroyed as is said in
Matt 10:28 “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Or as we see in Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Because the Holy Spirit is the only way we can know God, it is through our spirits communications with him that enables us to receive whatever the Holy Spirit is communicating to us.
This is why I had a spiritual rebirth. All from my own faith and after I believed and nothing that was predestined for me by the heavenly Father.
Do I expect you to understand what I just said? NO. But I have lived it and experienced it.
I will leave you to ponder why I post this from Paul, when you likely will not uunderstand the meaning to me.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. (1 Corinthians 2:12 KJV). .
