Topic: You Have It All–in The Spirit
Matthew 26:41: ‘Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.’
Matthew 26:41
The Bible presents salvation as a life-transforming experience. Change is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a true believer. Yet, failure to understand that this change takes place in the spirit first and then is reflected in our outward appearance through our thoughts and actions in direct proportion to how we renew our minds could be more apparent.
This change has to take place in our born-again spirit first. Why is that? If you were fat before you got saved, you will be fat after you get saved unless you go on a weight loss program. Your body doesn’t instantly change, and neither does your soul or mind.
It is your spirit that is instantly changed at salvation. It is perfect (Heb. 12:23). It cannot sin (1 Jn. 3:9). Everything that is true of Jesus is true of our born-again spirit. Your spiritual salvation is complete. At redemption, you receive the same energy you will have throughout all eternity. It will not have to be changed or cleansed again. It is sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13) and therefore, is sanctified and perfected forever (Heb. 10:10, 14; 12:23).
For the remainder of our Christian life, we must not try to obtain faith, joy, or love from God but rather release what we already have in our spirits (Gal. 5:22-23) into our souls and bodies. Failure to understand this has caused some people to despair when they don’t see sufficient change in their lives after coming to the Lord for salvation. It must be understood that the difference is internal in our spirit and the outward change will take place as we renew our minds through God’s Word.
