Natural Man VS Spiritual Man, 8/15/10

Summary

The sermon contrasts the natural man and the spiritual man, emphasizing that the natural man cannot understand or please God because he lacks the Spirit of God. The spiritual man, born again by the Spirit, has the mind of Christ and can discern spiritual truths, bear the fruit of the Spirit, and truly worship God in spirit and truth. The preacher highlights the instantaneous nature of being born again and the ongoing inner conflict between the flesh and the spirit. Assurance of salvation and the hope of ultimate holiness are presented as the spiritual man's journey.
