Part 4 DIAGRAM C. THE MOVEMENT OF THE SPIRIT WITHIN INTO THE SOUL THEN TO THE BODY.

The Unregenerated Man.
The unregenerated man has this tripartite nature that is common to every man, his spirit, soul and body; but like Nicodemus who visited Jesus, tried to recognize the power of God working in His ministry.
Jesus replied in John 3:3-6: Verily verily I say unto you, except a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born? Jesus answered verily verily I say unto thee, Except a man is born of water and of Spirit He cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Verse 6: that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of Spirit is spirit
The unregenerated man is born once of man into this world. He is flesh because he is born of the flesh thus he can only live in the realms of the flesh. In this realm the unregenerated man is said to be living in the passion of his flesh, following the drive of his mind, desires, will and emotions thus the scripture describes the unbelievers as children of wrath by nature: That is They which are the Children of the flesh, these are not the children of God……Romans 9:8,Ephesians 2:3…, ,
God is saying here that a man whose soul is yielded to the lust of the body and commits many sins is dead towards God and may have no consciousness of being sinful thus becomes proud in his sins. The scripture says they bear fruit unto death. (Rom.7:5, 14, 25). So if we are not born again we cannot fulfill any of God’s will because we are weakened always by the flesh. In Rom.8:3, 7 the scripture reveals that the flesh is hostile to God. God looks upon the flesh as utterly corrupt and cannot be transformed to something pleasing to Him. The Holy Spirit cannot by striving against man render it unfleshly. Any person or religion that tries to repair the flesh by acts of self abasement or severity to the body shall fail utterly. God recognizes the impossibility for the flesh to change or be improved upon that is why He planned a new life for man I n order to help him by his obedience to the Holy Spirit to deaden the flesh. All flesh must die.

Spirits and souls! Where in the body are they located?
