…Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. —JAMES 1:21(KJV)

The spirit of man is the part of man that receives eternal life, which is the nature and life of God. A man’s spirit, the innermost man, the real man, receives eternal life and is born again. But his intellect and emotions—which comprise his soul—still have to be renewed. They are not born again. They are to be renewed. It was never stated in the Bible that God restores our spirits. Our spirits become brand-new creatures in Christ Jesus. Our souls, however, must be renewed or restored.

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. ROMANS 12:2(KJV)

Our souls are saved, or restored, when our mind becomes renewed with the Word of God. It is the Word of God that saves our souls, that renews our minds, that restores our souls. Once our minds become renewed with the Word of God, then we are enabled to think in line with God’s Word. We are now able to know and prove the permissive and the perfect will of God. Our questions about God will be limited once our minds are renewed. The greatest need in the Church today is to have minds renewed with the Word of God.

Prayer of the Day: Father in the name of Jesus, I make a decision to daily spend time with the engrafted Word in order to be effective in discerning your perfect will for my life
