Spirit, Soul, and Body (Series)
No human being... could have dreamt up the new birth and all of the (realities) that take place in our new (born-again) spirits. It's just beyond our imagination that God would indwell us and that our spirits (would be as)... "He is... in this world." If you've received the revelation thus far, you can say, "I see it! I"m a brand-new person in my spirit. Old things passed away, and all things have become new. As Jesus is right now, (so am I) in this world. My spirit, (the real me), was created in righteousness and true holiness."
Many people... who have seen these truths, who rejoiced over them, and who were immediately impacted... have since sinned or gotten busy and forgotten. Something happened, and they find themselves back in some of the same (negative situations) they were in before being born-again (defeat and discouragement, for example). Due to their own (apparent failure), they feel, "Maybe I was changed, but I've blown it...again!" And, they argue, "That may have been so before, but... I've blown it so much since then that it can't possibly be true of me now!"
I have good news... What God does in the spirit (always) remains constant and unchanging
(regardless) of fluctuations in your performance. Jesus (became sin) so you could (become righteous.) "He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus (became) what you were so you could (become) what He is. He took your sin and gave you His righteousness.
Most of the... (church today) acknowledges that Jesus paid the price for their sin but don't really believe they have (become righteous). They think this takes place in the future when they arrive in heaven. (2 Corinthians 5:21) refutes this (misunderstanding) by declaring He took your sin and made (past tense)... you (righteous).
Get this saints!... God doesn't (look at you) the way (you look at) yourself. He looks upon (your spirit) and sees that you are righteous. Most people pray, "O God, I'm so sorry. I've failed You miserably again. How can you love me?" Have mercy!" They don't (recognize the truth) that the performance of their (bodies and souls), either good or bad has absolutely (no bearing) on (whether or not) God accepts them. God sees you as righteous and truly holy because He's looking at your spirit.
God is pleased with you! "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath (made us accepted) into the beloved" (Ephesians 1:5-6). Accepted
means more than just mere toleration. He's literally pleased with you! You might not be pleased with the shape your mind or body is in, but God sees you in the spirit and He's pleased with His workmanship. You are highly favored of the Lord.
Once you believed... you were sealed with the Holy Spirit. "In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). Your born-again spirit was created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). As Jesus is, so became your spirit right here in this world (1 John 4:17). It became one with the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17). Then, all of this goodness was (immediately sealed) tight with the Holy Spirit.
When you were born-again, your spirit was immediately encased... vacuum-packed... by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of preservation. When you fail in any area of your life after being saved, the rottenness, uncleanness, and defilement that comes to your (body and soul) don't penetrate your spirit. This Holy Spirit seal keeps the good in and the bad out.
