When we have received the holy Spirit, that is a seed planet, God likes the whole idea of seeds, which is why it's so part of our world. When the holy Spirit enters into a believer in experience, that seed planted cannot be stopped, it will crush your flesh, it will grow despite ourselves. We cannot stop it. Jesus is going to bring you into fellowship no matter how dumb we are. By my own devices I will be an evil wicked person, a faithless selfish person. People think they're good, that's why they hate God and His Christ. There was a woman, 16, she sold nudes of herself and she said, Well I'm not as bad as the people who buy my nudes! Or of course there's men who watch porn and then think prostitutes are worse than them. In other words, people stand on ant hills and then say, See I'm higher than they! Meanwhile God's goodness is higher than outerspace. And he's looking down on two specks, one of which is on top of an even smaller speck. Humans are not good, so what? humans love the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but Jesus wants us to take from the tree of life. And life is meant to be exactly what Paul describes as walking in the Spirit, and to walk in the flesh is death, because our flesh will eventually perish in its corruption and we will be given new bodies. Your body did not come from worms and/or sea sponges having sex 600 million years ago. We have our body and will be given a new one, whether it is for good or bad.
Goodness is fundamental, everyone knows what it is, it's just a matter of whether they want it or not. And the difference between a saved believer and the non-believer is that a disciple of Jesus wants all the goodness, whereas the natural man wants some goodness, But let me have a little bit of my badness on the side. Let me have my bit of adultery, It'll all work out anyway because I'm still not that bad, I have some goodness overall and I'm above these other sinners! Ant hill mindset. That's not how salvation works. But salvation is through Christ and understanding that He alone is the payment for sin and understanding that, we ask and receive the holy Spirit. And we walk in the Spirit. We begin to understand by the Spirit truly God's will and how we should live. And just because when we receive the Spirit that doesn't mean we don't have our flesh anymore, Paul says, Your flesh will war against the new nature from God. The naturally man thinks he has a good and bad nature but he only has one nature, the only other nature comes from God and it is beyond the knowledge of good and evil, it is life, eternal. Now that when we walk in the Spirit if we make a mistake it is a mistake, we do not do evil because we think it's okay or I'm good enough. We never stop walking, never stop ascending. We can't walk in both paths willingly. We have to choose a lane, because the middle ground and lower ground are all going to hell. And those that choose life receive life. Now we make our decision, I choose God. I'm not going to hell because I'm a pervert and hateful and sexist, my flesh might be built on all those things, but I will not let the flesh win. one has to understand who he is. He is not just his body, we have consciousness which interfaces through our brain. You damage your brain then your consciousness is going to struggle to do as you would, as Paul says. And what we want to do when we are given the gift of the Spirit is to please God and follow Him.
