1 | filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit | Rom 8:9 | terrib | 153433 | ||
Pastor Glenn, You wrote: "Is it more important to be filled with the Holy Spirit, or to walk in our spirit nature, or both?" You cannot seperate the two. That is like saying, 'Should I be filled with God or walk in the Spirit of Christ'?. You can not seperate the Trinity of God or any of Their workings. You can't drink water without the hydrogen. Verses on a "spirit nature". Roman 8:9 says it the best. (Romans 8:2 KJV) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:9 KJV) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. (13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (15) 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. (1 John 3:24 KJV) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. (1 John 4:2 KJV) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: terrib |

Hi terrib, In thinking about these things through the years, the scribes and the translators have interpretted certain things differently. For instance Romans 8:10, NASB, where it speaks of the spirit [sic] is alive even though the body is dead. (Because of the righteousness of Christ who is in us). And verse 16, the Spirit Himself, NASB, beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God. For we have received a spirit, NASB, of adoption as sons. 1 John 3:24 in the KJV would not read very well if it said, "by the Spirit whom he hath given us." And yet that is the way that the NASB and NKJ also reads. I believe that it makes more sense to keep spirit in the lower case for 1 John 3:24, and the next verses, 1 John 4:1,2, and 3. And verse 6, "By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, 1 John 3:24 talks about the witness of the Spirit of Christ, some think the spirit of sanctification, but not in this case. (see also 4:13) ('which' and 'whom' are the same word in the Greek) 1 John 4:1,2,3,6: Yes all these should be spirit, (except in v2 "Spirit of God"), for these spirits are talking about men's spirits or the spirits of a doctrines, or possibly angels, not Divine Spirit. ref: (Galatians 1:8 KJV) "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." These also would be spirits. terrib |

Hi Terrib, Romans 15:15, NASB, says, "For you have not received a spirit of slavery, leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba, Father!" 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." In the same way 1 John 3:24 talks of this spirit that we received, which was given to us. Romans 8:16 tells us that "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit" and 1 John 4:2 tells us that "By this you know the *spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;" Romans 8:16 affirms that we are children of God and 1 John 4:2 affirms that we know the spirit of God, for we confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. 2) In talking about the witness of the Spirit of Christ you are thinking about the Spirit of truth, the Helper, that was sent and would come. However, I don't see the Spirit of truth as being "given". I see the spirit of truth [sic] as given in 1 John 4:6. 3) I see His spirit given in 1 John 4:13. From the heart, Ray |
