1 | God's or ours | Matt 28:18 | Asis | 101282 | ||
Ray We have been born again by beliving God. Our spirit, our inner man, has been reborn by the Holy Spirit. Our spirit has been made perfect, complete again . . . RE generation. The Spirit of God and our spirit are in union. They work as one. When God tells us to do something it is through this union that the action is relayed. Our spirit communicates with our mind will and emotions, our soul. Our soul moves our body to talk, lay hands, pray, etc., complete the action. If we walk by the power of our soul rather than the power of our spirit (Holy Spirit power) then whose action is it? God's or ours? |

2 | God's or ours | Matt 28:18 | Ken hepting | 101308 | ||
Great question, Ray! I see, from scripture, that our soul is to be made perfect through sufferings/trials/temptations. The perfecting of our souls is OUR responsibility unto "sonship" with the Father. See 1 Pet...1 John. Our soul is to come into union with the Father's MIND and that through our perfect[ed] spirit by the work of Himself as you have stated. This is the work any born again believer needs to be about instead of wearing out his/her "dedicator" every Sunday in a "woe is me" contrition...And every preacher ought to be about preaching that it not be necessary if one gets on in the becoming unto God, that which He has purposed. |

How are you gonna perfect your soul? If you could do it what is the point of Jesus death on the Cross and the promise of the Holy Spirit. God breaks every barrier we have between Him and us with trials/tribultions. Temptations are nothing more than temptations. The world's way or satan's way of asking you who do you choose? God or us. Our soul, our thinking, our doing it is not the way of God. That is what Adam did in the garden. He chose to do it his way instead of what God wanted. We are God's sons just because we believe God. Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [KJV] Romans 8:15-17 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. [KJV] It displeases God when WE do the work. the only way to please God is Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. [KJV] God wants you broken and contrite. Kowing that you can do nothing of yourself. Asis |
