GOD IS SPIRIT JOHN 4:24

Yet, Hebrews 12:9 says that God is, “...the Father of spirits.” Yet, Hebrews 12:9 says that God is, “...the Father of spirits.” The image of God’s likeness is not physical, it is spiritual. The image of God’s likeness is not physical, it is spiritual. Consider Gen. 1: Consider Gen. 1:26-27.

Restored to the Spirit Image Eph 4:22-24 “ That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Eph 4:22-24 “ That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

Restored to the Spirit Image Colossians 3:1-10 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth...put on the new man which is renewed after the image of Him who created him.” Colossians 3:1-10 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
