Jn 4:24 God is a Spirit
Posted : 16 Mar, 2010 05:36 AM

Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.



We know our father is a spirit being so we know we are Spirit beings, (very important)



Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.





Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.





Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:





1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.





1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.



1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God�s.



1Co 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.



1Co 16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.



Ga 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. To the Galatians written from Rome.



1Th 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.



more to come later

I think the point that Dear John was trying to make is that "You" are Spirit...the body you are in is not "You"



That body belongs to you. When that body ceases to exsist...where will you go? That body is just one more possession that you can not take with you when it dies.



Remember...you can not die. Your body can. You will "live" for enternity either in Heaven...or hell. Your Choice!



And what of "the Soul"?

John,



I would say that so we realize that we are not of this world and that "possessions" only hinder us. Much like a camel that is heavily loaded down can not pass through one of the Gates leading into Jeruselem (The Eye of the Needle)(which was very narrow) without having it's load removed and hand carried in. So too will "Possessions" hinder us and keep us from Heaven.
