The Holy Spirit is given to us to help us discern they right choice every moment of our life.
Once saved, there are two choices, following either the Natural or Spiritual Self.
Natural Man Selfish
|
Spiritual Man Selfless
|
||
Spirit
|
Dead
|
Reborn
- Made Alive - Connected to God
|
|
Heart
|
Will
|
Do
What I want to do - even at the expense of others
|
Get
a New Heart when reborn - Now ask God for help to do the Best Thing
|
Soul
|
Emotion
|
Feeling
and reaction in response to thoughts of the meaning derived from a
stimulus
|
Feeling
and reaction in response to thoughts of truth - knowing God is in Control and
is working all things to the Good of those who love Him.
|
Mind
|
Thoughts
|
Thinking
based on how I perceive things from a stimulus
|
Have
to Renew my Mind in the Truth of God - Knowing God loves me and has a purpose
for everything that I go through. Even suffering-grows Godly Character.
|
Body
|
Tent
|
Wants
whatever it wants - even to excess
|
Must
be controlled and balanced in a Godly way so as not to go to excess.
|
Old Perception
|
New Perception
|
||
May
not even be reality - we can only see from our perspective
|
New
Self - God teaches us truth and helps us see from His perspective
|
||
Bent
to Self and Other Destruction
|
Bent
to God and Selfless Offering
|
||
Carnal
- Flesh
|
Spiritual
- New Creation
|
||
Leads
to Anxiety
|
Leads
to Soul Peace
|
||
If
we choose to follow our Natural ways, we may gain the whole world, but loose
our Souls.
|
If
we choose to Follow God's ways, He will give us the desires of our heart and
Save our Souls forever.
