The Hidden Man of the Heart Is the Real Man

The same thing is true with the “hidden man of the heart,” as the spirit man is called in First Peter 3:4. Your spirit man on the inside is actually the “real you,” for it is the part of you that is eternal.
The inward man, your spirit, is called the hidden man. He is the man of the heart; the man of the spirit. The hidden man is hidden to the physical or the natural man. The natural man doesn’t necessarily want to submit to the inward man (Rom. 8:7), but the inward man—the spirit man is the real man on the inside.
Believers need a new psychology, which goes beyond the mere study of the mind of man. We ought to call it spiritology because psychology only deals with the operation of the human mind through the physical senses. Psychology books have to be constantly changed because they are based on natural human knowledge and theories. Spiritology, on the other hand, would be the study of the human spirit. In Romans 7:22 the spirit is called the “inward man.” This inward man or the “hidden man” in First Peter 3:4 gives us God’s definition of the human spirit.
