The Key to experiencing Christ - The Human Spirit

When we receive Christ this begins a life of learning to contact Him to experience Him. But this is not a common type of contact through religious means. This is a living way! Listen to this episode where I unpack the key on how to experience Christ.  The following verses mention this key: 1 Thes. 5:23 “And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Col. 2:6 “As therefore you have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in Him.” John 3:6 “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” How can we contact God? What organ do we use? We must see what kind of substance God is. 1 Corinthians 15:45, 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 14:16-20 and John 4:24 tell us that God is a Spirit. John 4:24 says, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit.” Notice that the first Spirit is captialised which is God himself as the divine Spirit. The second spirit which is uncapitalised refers to our human spirit. This human spirit is the key to contacting Christ. Denying the soul so we can use our spirit is something we will develop more in future podcasts; Matt 16:24-26, Mark 8:35, Luke 9:23-25, John 12:25). Then in the Epistles, we were told again and again to walk, live, pray and do everything in the spirit (Acts 17:16, Rom 1:9; 12:11, 1 Cor 16:18, 1 Pet 3:4). The human spirit and our use of it is the key to the experience of Christ.
