How To Avoid More Failure

What Is The First Verse in the New Testament ? Most Christians Don't!

Humans are "three-part beings". We consist of an eternal spirit, and eternal soul, and a temporary physical body (spirit, soul, body).

When a person is born-again, his/her nature changes from that of fallen man (made after Adam, who transgressed in the Garden), to that of Christ Jesus (Who lived a sinless, pure, holy life). However, even though our nature is changed, we remain in this body with a Soul that has been accustomed to living for self, caring ONLY about pleasing self. Herein is the "problem" with attempting to make wise, godly choices in life. Our "flesh" (that part of our Soul that maintains knowledge of the old way pf living and thinking) now must be brought under subjection to our Born-Again Spirit which is always in perfect Union with the Holy Spirit of God.

Attempting to "get it right"... to live by our own human strength --resolve, will power, etc.-- cannot consistently supply the necessary strength for the cause. But God has made Provision for us to live "by the spirit", and not have to rely on our flesh, our own human strength.
