Controlled by Human Nature…?

Those with lives controlled by the human nature will yield death in the end; their spirits are already dead. Because being controlled by the human nature results into death, the Lord our God hates them, because he hates death.

Our God hates sin and those that associate with it. “and a person becomes an enemy of God when he is controlled by the human nature; for he does not obey God’s law, and in fact he can not obey it,” say Romans 8:7 TEV.

The Spirit of God gives life to the spirits of men in who he settles and operates, and if a man is controlled by the human nature, his spirit is dead and his body is to perish soon, and this proves further that the Spirit of God in and with him.

Because, when the Spirit of God comes upon us he shapes our way of thinking, attitudes and desires; he takes control of both our body and spirit and the fruits of God grow and manifest in our lives, which include life, boldness, joy, love, peace and material prosperity, not living out physical and spiritual knowledge, wisdom, understanding and righteousness, which are very important to a Christian character.

Those who obey the human nature possess the opposite of all the above, and therefore the scripture says, “Those who obey their human nature can not please God”, just as it also says, “…without faith no one can please God.”

What controls your human nature, and your faith, have a direct relationship. If you human nature is controlled by the human nature then you’ll live like human do; live a little while and die hopeless, but if the Spirit of God controls your human nature, you’ll indeed be a child of God.
