(Becoming What Is Already Written About You in God’s Mind) There is something God is teaching you that many believers never understand: your walk with God is not about trying to “become something” so God will approve you—your communion with Him is what causes the rest of you to catch up to who you already are in the eternal realm. You’re not trying to get something from God.You’re growing into what God has already written. THE SPIRITUAL MAN VS. THE NATURAL MAN Paul uncovers this mystery in 1 Corinthians 2:10–15.He explains that the Spirit searches the deep things of God—things no human intellect can understand. Your natural mind can’t “receive” spiritual revelation. It considers the things of God foolish. But God did not leave you trapped in your natural thinking.He gave you His Spirit, so you might know the things freely given to you. This means:The eternal version of you—the one God saw before time—can only be understood through communion with the Spirit. Imagine a child growing into clothes that were bought for them years before. The clothes already belong to them, but they don’t fit yet. They must grow into what was already purchased. You are growing into the eternal man—not trying to obtain him. ONE SPIRIT WITH THE LORD Paul continues this profound revelation in 1 Corinthians 6:17: “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” Think about that.Not “similar spirit.”Not “connected spirit.”One spirit. This union is so complete, so intertwined, that Paul uses it as the foundation for why we must flee sexual immorality. Why? Because your body is not just yours—it is the earthly house of the Spirit with whom you are united. Story Example Think of a home that is shared by two people. If one person decides to bring filth, corruption, and defilement into the house, it affects the other person who dwells there.In the same way, when we unite ourselves to sin, particularly sexual sin, Paul says we sin against our own body, because the Spirit Himself lives there.

Grow people of God!
