This is taken from a new book I’m writing called FINDING THE SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH.
For the most part, people on this earth fit into one of three categories. The first category ends when one is born-again of the Spirit. The second two categories vie for control back and forth, sometimes one and sometimes the other, and rarely totally one or the other.
- The Natural Person. The spirit is dead to God and these people are unable to fulfill the purpose for which God created them. Their minds are filled with thoughts about themselves and what the world has to offer. Satan finds a fertile field for his lies in such people.
- The Spiritual Person. Also known as Spiritual Christians. These people’s spirits are alive through their becoming children of God and recipients of His grace. They are re-born from their natural selves into spiritual beings. Their minds are transformed from evil to good, their wills are conformed to God’s will, and their emotions are filled with joy and peace. They are bent on following Jesus
- The Worldly Person. Also known as Worldly Christians. These people’s spirits are alive but they are more interested in the world, their own desires, and having their own ways instead of being led by Christ. They live independently of God, too follow their own wills instead of God’s will, and can be emotionally flighty – up and down as the world turns for or against them. They are bent on going their own way and following the ways of the world.
If you’re reading this post, you are probably not a natural person. The question then to ask yourself is who you are most of the time. Are you a Spiritual Christian staying as close to God as you can get, or are you a Worldly Christian who goes his or her own way much of the time?
