Process of the new spiritual birth

The process of spiritual growth

I do not think that many people have taken the time and dedication to properly asses and analyze the reality and practicality of the life which exist in the spirit despite the fact that we have been duly instructed saying; “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish” (Galatians 5:16-17).

As one can clearly see, there is a definite struggle between the life which is in accordance to the flesh and the life which is in accordance to the Spirit and the admonition is; “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).

To have a clear understanding of the reality and practicality of this life in the Spirit we will need to compare it with that of the flesh for this is what we have been instructed saying; “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).

And so, if we can see and understand the three dimensions of human growth we also will be able to know and comprehend the three dimensions of the life which is in accordance to the Spirit with only one exemption which has to do with time,

The process of physical life follows these three dimensions;

a.                   Gestation

This is the process or period of which the embryo is developing inside the womb between conception and birth.

b.                  Birth of the new born

This process normally takes a period of nine (9) months but sometimes one can experience a pre-mature birth.

c.                   Development and growth of the new born.

This is dependent on oxygen, nutrition (water and food), exercise, restoration (rest and sleep) and entertainment.
