The Spiritual Anatomy Of A Christian
THE SPIRITUAL ANATOMY OF A CHRISTIAN
We need to have regular check-ups just like our physical anatomy needs to be checked to see that it is operating properly.
Introduction
Should be Watchful
- Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, I Peter 5:8
Needs to be Enlightened
- having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Ephesians 1:18
The Feet Of A Christian
Prepared and Covered
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Ephesians 6:15
Evangelizing
- and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15
Running
- Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:1
The Hands Of A Christian
Controlled –
So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. ….. But the tongue can no man tame; (it is) a restless evil, (it is) full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
James 3:1-10
Truthful
- Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. Ephesians 4:25
Doctrinally Sound
- if any man speaketh, (speaking) as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, (ministering) as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:11
The Mind Of A Christian
Unified –
Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:10
Focused –
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth Colossians 3:2
The Body Of A Christian
Sacrificial - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, (which is) your spiritual service. Romans 12:1
Glorifying - Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. I Corinthians 6:19-20
Protecting The Body Of A Christian
Armed
- Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil (one). And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Ephesians 6:13-17
•Having girded your loins with the belt of truth.
The only way to be right with God, is to do what He commands.
When we tell others what the Bible says, the Holy Spirit begins to work on them to convict them of sin, and hopefully helps them to want to be forgiven.
