In honor of Billy Graham...
We must have a rebirth of the spirit - a birth from above.
Our spirits are dead to God
A spiritual birth, like a physical one, takes place at a particular point in time.
Is there a specific point in time when you were born again?
A spiritual birth, like a physical one, takes place at a particular point in time.
Is there a specific point in time when you were born again?
(1) Born from above by the Spirit, the word, and the blood
Born again by the Spirit through the word of God
John 4:13-14
the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit
(2) The vital signs of the new birth
(a) A new awareness of my sin
(b) A desire to stop doing evil things
(c) A new love for other believers
(d) A new desire to witness to others
(e) A new love for God’s word
(f) A new understanding our worth
(3) At salvation the spirit is reborn, but the soul still needs to be transformed, and the body dedicated to God.
John 3:6
My spirit - the Holy Spirit indwells and we have fellowship with God.
The conscience is a function of the spirit.
My spirit - the Holy Spirit indwells and we have fellowship with God
My soul - mind, will, emotions.
Transformation of the soul is a process which comes from the continual filling of the Spirit and the daily washing of the word
My body - must be presented as a living sacrifice daily
Why do I still sin?
The soul needs to be under the control of the spirit which needs to be under the control of the Spirit and the word.
Sins committed in the body will have physical consequences on earth.
For instance, Paul warns that if we do not thoroughly examine ourselves prior to partaking of communion, we will suffer weakness, sickness, and premature death (see ; see also ).
If we do not walk in obedience to God's Word, we will grieve the Holy Spirit.
The person who chooses not to follow God's ways in his soul will experience the consequences of a defeated mind, will, and emotions.
(4) The spiritual growth of the spirit, soul, and body is called sanctification
