General What is it about you that God is interested in ?

[LeeB]

The answer is your human spirit, the spirit of man, the breath of life, that part of the soul that goes back to God at death. 1 Corinthians 5:5 , Hebrews 12:23 , Job 32:8 , Job 33:4 , Hebrews 12:9 God is not interested in your flesh but in your human spirit.
You have head the flesh profits nothing, the flesh is is contrary to the spirit, Galatians 5:17 , Romans 7:18 , Romans 8:5 , John 6:63 , 1 Corinthians 15:45 , 1 Corinthians 6:16 , John 3:5-8 Your Christian destiny is to be born into the kingdom of God as an immortal, impeccable spirit being, in like manner as the holy angels. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, 1 Corinthians 15:50 , the perishable mentioned here is your flesh and the imperishable is your new spirit composed body. To be mortal is to be flesh to be immortal is to be spirit. If indeed we are to be made in the image of God and Christ would that image be flesh ? Flesh is our enemy and is what drags us down into sin, we need to shed this flesh, Jude 1:22-23 .

I would hope that nobody would read your post and think that the things our flesh does on earth are of no interest to God. It may sound like a strange thing to think, but I know of people who use such thinking to make light of their sins.

The flesh can do nothing of its self. The human spirit is what operates the flesh. The human brain does not have intelligence, store memories or think. This is all a function of the human spirit, Job 32:8 The brain is like an interface between your human spirit and the rest of your body.
James 2:26 , 1 Corinthians 2:11 , Job 33:4 , Proverbs 20:27
The law judges by hearing and sight without any concern over the thoughts and intents of the human spirit. Two or more human witnesses had to testify about what they saw or heard to accuse, by seeing and hearing. Isaiah 11:3 , Hebrews 4:12 , Genesis 6:5 The heart in these verses is the human spirit, the breath of life the spirit in man. 1 Kings 8:39 , Acts 1:24 , Acts 8:22 , Revelation 2:23 ….. The problem of sin is a spirit problem, the spirits of humans became defiled and God has a way of correcting this by making the spirits of just men perfect. 1 Corinthians 5:5 , It is the human spirit that receives salvation. The law never addressed man’s true problem but dealt only with the fleshes outside actions or words, seeing or hearing, ignoring the human spirit that produced both.

A human is body and spirit. These two things are what make a soul, a living breathing creature. We do not have a soul, we are a soul. Hebrew nephesh , Strongs concordance #H5315 .
