"Ye Which Are Spiritual" - Sermon preached by Stephen Kennedy Sunday Morning, 24/11/2013

Ye Which Are Spiritual

Gal. 6:1-6

Let a man embrace religion without Christ; let him get into the church without being born again; let him go into the baptismal waters without the Spirit of God in his heart, and it hastens him toward hell, because the shortest road to hell sometimes is through the church.

I)                   Ye which are spiritual have the Spirit’s Birth. Man cannot be or act spiritual until they have been born of the Spirit of God. John 3:5-7 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

II)                Ye which are spiritual believe the Spirit’s Book. The Spirit of God inspired the Bible so man cannot be a spiritual person and deny the Spiritual book. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

III)             Ye which are spiritual obey the Spirit’s Beseeching. If God has ALL of you then He has ALL your possessions. He isn’t interested in your possessions, He is interested in possessing you! Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

IV)             Ye which are spiritual walk in the Spirit’s Behaviour. Man is to behave according to what controls him or rather I should say “who” controls him. 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

V)                Ye which are spiritual experience the Spirit’s Blessings. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
