I think Christians can be divided into two types.

I think Christians can be divided into two types❗️

...Are they Christians born of the Spirit?

Are they Christians who only possess knowledge?

...The Bible teaches that there is a spiritual realm within each person.

And, in a person born, this spiritual part is dead...😨

Through faith in Jesus,
when we become children of God,
this spiritual part is born anew by the Holy Spirit, as written.

...John 3:5 says

'Jesus answered...'

"Truly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, no one can enter the kingdom of God."
...Christians who live by the Spirit... can fight against the temptations of this world...
If they sin...😨
They repent from the bottom of their hearts...
...Christians who live by the Spirit...
When unpleasant memories from the past come back to haunt them... and they are tormented by guilt,
they use the sword of God's word⚔️ to fight
✳️2 Corinthians 5:17.
They become able to break away from the past❗️.
...Let's transform into Christians of the Spirit starting today❗️
Shalom😃
