Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
John 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
When we are born again, a new source is established within our being.
The verse above reveals that there are two sources for our being, two places we can “come from” in the way we interact with things.
We can come from the flesh, or we can come from the spirit.
The flesh is the living out of our fallen self.
In fact, if you drop the “h” in the word “flesh” and reverse the order of the letters, you have the word SELF.
Both of these words, the flesh and the self, refer to another source for man’s being other than the spirit.
The two sources that man can live by are revealed at the beginning of the Bible.
In Genesis 2:8-9 God put man in a garden in front of two trees: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
These two trees show that man can live by one of two sources.
The tree of life represents dependence upon God in the realm of the spirit.
To live by the tree of life is to live by God as our source.
It is to take God Himself as our life, living in fellowship with Him and relying upon Him moment by moment.
It is a life of believing and trusting in the Lord.
It is a life of learning to draw from God as our supply and then following the impulses of that supply.
It is a life that can be described as “living out of God.”
It is a life of not making our own decisions anymore or leaning on our own understanding (Prov. 3:5-6).
It is a life of filtering everything through the divine life.
It is a life of not making a move or doing anything apart from compatibility with our inner sense of abiding in the Lord.
It is a life in which we can do nothing apart from Him (John 15:5).
