The spirit is the immaterial part of humans that has the capacity to relate to God. Outside of Christ, a person is spiritually dead and is unable to relate to God.
–
Before a person has spiritual life, he is a slave to sin and spiritually dead. Because of Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden, every person is cursed with a sin nature, estrangement from God, and a predilection to live contrary to God’s will. Jesus is the only way to receive forgiveness for sin and to gain spiritual life.
–
The spiritual life of a believer compels him or her to grow in the things of God and to apply God’s truth to life. The extent of growth in a person’s spiritual life is determined by the extent to which he allows the Holy Spirit to lead and control his life instead of living in the flesh.
–
True spiritual life is produced by the Spirit working in and through the believer. It is not produced by self-effort, nor is it a life lived in gratification of the flesh. A born-again believer who is controlled by the Holy Spirit will exhibit a consistent spiritual walk based on God’s Word.
