Conscience (part 3)

Image
  The Natural, Carnal, and Spiritual Man The Natural Man  The natural man is one who lives without God - who lives his/her life "in the flesh". The "flesh" in this sense means the sinful (lower) nature- the nature which became a part of man after the fall (sin) of Adam and Eve. Now, this sinful nature is passed down to all men.  The illustration shows that the door of the spirit (that part of man that relates to God) is closed. the door of the flesh is open. The natural man must be born again - his spirit made alive.  1 Corinthians 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  Galatians 5:19-21   Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21  Envyings, murde...

Conscience (part 2)

  Conscience ...that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. (Romans 1:19 NAS) Man: The Fall The effect of the fall leaves man physically alive and spiritually dead; the outer self and inner self are no longer in union with God. Man is now separated from God. The sinful nature/the flesh is now part of man's personality.  The temptation; Man's sin Genesis 3:1-7 Man's fear, shame, and blame Genesis 3:8-13 God's judgement Genesis 3:14-24 God's mercy / promise Genesis 3:15, 21 Man: A new creation "Ye must be born again" union with God restored, new creation John 3:3, 5  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God.    Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit , he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that wh...

Conscience (part 1)

Conscience ...that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. (Romans 1:19 NAS) Man: In the image of God Genesis 1:26-27  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.  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 2:7  And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Job 33:4  The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 32:8  But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Leviticus 17:11  For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to m...

Examples of Faith

Image
 Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.  Hebrews 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Our Faith caused us to understand.  Hebrews 11:4  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Abel's faith caused him to offer a sacrifice to God.  Hebrews 11:5  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Enoch's faith caused him to walk closely with God. He walked so close that he walked to Heaven with God. (Genesis 5:24) Hebrews 11:6  But without faith it is imp...
