Spirit, Soul and Body- Part 3
John 10:10 [AMP], The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
Romans 8:1-2 [AMP], Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:9 [NLT], But you are not controlled [led] by your sinful nature. You are controlled [led] by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you.
Romans 8:5-6 [ESV], For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
Galatians 5:17 [NIV], For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other…
Romans 8:15 [NIV], Those who live according to the flesh have their minds [souls] set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds [souls] set on what the Spirit desires.
Romans 8:5-6 [NLT], Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind [soul] leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind [soul] leads to life and peace.
James 1:19, 21-22 [NLT], Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: 21 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save [restore] your souls. 22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
John 6:63 [NKJV], It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
Romans 12:1-2 [TPT], Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. 2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think [but be transformed by the renewing of your mind—SOUL]. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.
