Why do we still
have some believers not finding following Jesus as easy as they breathe? The
point to note is that our being as humans is divided into three: the spirit,
the soul and the body. The root of the three is the spirit. The spirit
determines whose side we’re on. When we were under the first Adam, our spirit
was of the devil. So, when we did something good, it wasn’t counted as
righteousness because our spirit wasn’t in right standing with God. Now that we
are in Christ, even when we falter, it doesn’t make us unrighteous because our
spirit is right standing with God.
The only way our
spirit becomes unrighteous before God is if we renounce Jesus from our lives,
that is, to deny Him completely and not repent before the day Jesus’ return.
Now, there is a guy “downstairs” (the devil) who wants every believer to
renounce Jesus from their lives. Now when our being was of the devil, our soul
submitted to the will of old spirit which in turn controlled the body. The soul
is comprised of the mind, will and emotion. We are to understand that only our
spirit was transformed when we became born again. It is now up to us feed our
soul with the right food by submitting to the Holy Spirit, which then controls
our body.
We can achieve
having a transformed soul by meditating on the scriptures day and night [ref.
Psalm 1]. Praising God and giving thanks to Him and you will see the grace of
God come alive in your life. It’s all about His love for us and this is the
gospel truth.
Why not accept
Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand
new!
