The Transformed Life (Review of Part 1) 1

The Transition: Full Consecration To God Romans 12:1-2 We are to be "changed" into the image of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18; 4:16)  This radical change can be accomplished only "by the renewal of the mind." ( cf. 2 Corinthians 10:5; Ephesians 4:23-24; cf. 2 Corinthians 4:16 “day by day”) a.This demands study of the Scriptures (cf. Titus 2:11-12). 2

The Spiritual Man 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 “Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.” 3

The Spiritual Man 1 Corinthians 3:1 “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able (to bear it): nay, not even now are ye able; for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?” 1 Corinthians 3:1 “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able (to bear it): nay, not even now are ye able; for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?” 4

The Spiritual Man Galatians 6:1 “Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” 5

The Spiritual Man Romans 8:6-7 “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” KJV Romans 8:6-7 “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” KJV To be spiritually minded is truly a matter of life and death! Mind of the flesh (ASV) 6

Dual Nature Of Man Man is flesh Man is flesh Genesis 2:7 Genesis 2:7 Man is spirit Ecclesiastes 12:7 James 2:26 Declared “very good.” Genesis 1:31 Struggle to please God. Romans 7:22-24; cf. 1 Corinthians 1-3 Cannot rule passions of the flesh UNLESS we will it to be so! Romans 6:16-19; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 7

Two Men Struggle Outer Man “Flesh” “Natural Man” “Carnal” Temptation (James 1:12-15) Inner Man “Spirit” “Spiritual Man” To Rule (Romans 6:1- 14) 8

It Is The Spirit Of Man That Is Open To Fellowship With God. Colossians3:9-10 “… lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him” (cf. 2 Peter 1:2-4) Colossians3:9-10 “… lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him” (cf. 2 Peter 1:2-4) 9

Natural Man VS. Spiritual Man 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 Natural man – Natural man – One who has confidence in the flesh (human wisdom). 1 Corinthians 1:12-13, 18ff; 2:3-5; 3:3-4 Glorifies self; jealousy, strife, contention (cf. James 3:14- 16) Spiritual man – Spiritual man – One who has confidence in God. Glorifies God; humility (Philippians 2:5-8); No confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:1-15; Galatians 2:20) 10

Two Men Struggle Outer Man Flesh Natural Man Carnal Worldly (1 John 2:15) Inner Man Spirit Spiritual Man To Rule (Romans 6: 1- 14) 11

Two Men – Galatians 5 Spirit Galatians 5:22ff “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control …” Flesh Galatians 5:19ff “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are (these): fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like … ” 12

Two Men – James 3 Wisdom from above. James 3:17 “Wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.” Wisdom NOT from above. James 3:14-16 “Bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth … … but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.” 13

Two Men – 1 John 2 Love not the world. 1 John 2:15 “… love of the Father” 1 John 2:3-5 “And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected.” Love of the world. 1 John 2:15 “If any man love the world… 1 John 2:16 “the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, … is not of the Father, but is of the world.” 14

Two Examples Temptation of Eve Genesis 3:1-6 “And when the woman saw… that the tree was good for food, and that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, Genesis 4:1-8 Temptation Of Cain Genesis 4:1-8 “If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it.” and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it.” 15

What is true spirituality? (Spirit) Thought system that puts GOD first. Matthew 22:37-40 Matthew 6:33 What is the carnal man? (Flesh) Thought system that puts SELF first. Ephesians 2:3 Titus 2:12 cf. 1 Peter 4:1-6 These cannot exist together. Galatians 5:

Spirituality Is A Choice! The spiritual person is a product of free will. He humbly obeys! Romans 6:16-18, 22 Romans 6:12-14 “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, … For sin shall not have dominion over you …” 17
