[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.
As a reminder from part 3, our daily responsibilities provide excellent opportunities to practice and perfect our participation as a Citizen and Ambassador of the Kingdom of FatherGod. Also, in order to partake of all the Kingdom of FatherGod has to offer we must first partake of HIS divine nature which is to imitate HIM and Our Lord Christ/Messiah and strive to become more and more like Our Lord, Savior and Brother Christ/Messiah in our daily life. (Romans 8:29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstbo
among many brethren. (Ephesians 4:13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
As part of the process of becoming more and more Christlike, we are told to put off the old man and to put on the new man. [Ephesians 4:22-24] 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Lets now address the question of how in practical terms do we actually put on the new man? First, we have to understand the three-fold nature of FatherGod’s Children, which are: Holy Spirit, Soul and Body, in light of FatherGod’s desired standard for each. [1 Thessalonians 5:23] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The following three charts provide more insight on the Holy Spirit, Soul and Body.
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit of FatherGod in Christ/Messiah is within each of us HIS children. The Holy Spirit is perfect and is constantly communicating the Word of FatherGod to our Soul and attempting to lead us into all truth. We can cooperate with the Holy Spirit by studying and applying FatherGod’s Word. [Ephesians 1:13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, [Colossians 1:27] ..; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Therefore, our everyday actions should demonstrate the fruit of the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23) 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
SOUL
Our soul consists of our Mind, Will, Emotions, Intellect, Imagination, Attitude, Character, Self-Image, Self-Confidence, Self-Awareness.
The Holy Spirit within us is perfect and is constantly communicating the Word of FatherGod to our Soul and attempting to lead us into all truth. We can cooperate with the Holy Spirit by studying and applying FatherGod’s Word. As Our soul prospers our physical body becomes healthier. (3Joh
1:2) Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (Psalm23:3) He restoreth my soul: [Romans 12:3] .. but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. [Psalm 103: 1-5] 1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
BODY
Our body is the vehicle which contains our real self “Our Holy Spirit” and “our soul”. Just think without a body we could not interact with our physical environment. (Psalm 139:14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
When we are born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit we become a citizen of the Kingdom of FatherGod and FatherGod desires that we dedicate our bodies to HIM. (Romans 12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. We also partake of Perfect Radiant Divine Health (i.e., Healed) (1Peter 2:24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5) 4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [Isaiah 40:31] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. [Psalm 103: 2-5] 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
You are greatly loved by Our Loving Heavenly FatherGod (FatherLove) and our savior.lord.brother Christ/Messiah. FatherLove and Christ/Messiah live within each of you and you are FatherLove's very best masterpiece! (Colossians 1:27, Ephesians 2:10).
Love to each of you from Love, Faith & Hope Fellowship. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1Corinthians 13:13
