#bible Study With #jairus #1 John 3:9 (NIV) (part 1)

We can analyze it from several aspects. 1 John 3:9 (NIV) says, "No one who is born of God will continue to sin." We were taught that "born of God" here refers to our spirit. Our spirit is holy and, therefore, cannot sin. But our souls and flesh have not been transformed by the life of God, so we will still sin. Because we are still in the transformation process, our soul or flesh isn't holy, which is why we can still sin. I think this makes a lot of sense.

We are composed of 3 parts: body, soul and spirit. As a believer in Christ, God has drawn a boundary that keeps Satan and sin from touching our born again spirits. Even when we sin through our mind, will, or emotions through jealousy, covetousness, etc., our spirit is protected. The same is true when we sin in our flesh, such as stealing, adultery, etc. Nothing can come against our born again spirit, which is sealed by God. When you are born again, you become one spirit with God (1 Corinthians 6:17). An unbeliever committing the same sins does not have that protection, and his spirit can die.
When we are born again, our spirit is sinless and holy. In Charismatic circles, the saying is: we are a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. Our true new man, which is the spirit, is saved, yet our unregenerate body is still compelled to sin and taints our soul to some extent. Our spirit remains pure and holy, regardless of the body's sin.

Our body, soul, and spirit can be compared to a gold mine. Gold represents our spirit, our soul is represented by a stone, and our flesh would be like the dirt. If you are an experienced geologist or gold miner, you don't focus on the stone or the dirt all over it. You are only concerned with whether there is gold inside that stone...
