The Inward Man
ROMANS 7:22 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.
In Romans 7:22, the spirit of man is called the “inward man.” So this inward man and the hidden man gives us God’s definition of the human spirit. Remember the real man is a spirit; he has a soul; and he lives in a body (1 Thess. 5:23). With our spirit we contact the spiritual realm; with our soul we contact the intellectual and emotional realm; and with our physical being we contact the physical realm. You can’t contact God with your mind. You can’t contact God with your body. You can only contact God with your spirit. And God contacts and communicates with you through your spirit.
Can you remember as a sinner how the Word of God affected you on the inside, in your spirit? The Holy Spirit through the Word, spoke to your heart or your spirit. You heard the Word with your physical ears, but it affected your spirit.
The Word of God is of the Spirit of God, and the Bible says the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind. The reason the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind is that you don’t understand the Bible with your head; it is spiritually understood. You understand the Bible with your heart or your spirit. Amen
