The Natural Man follows these 3...

The Natural Man in Eph 2:1-3 
When we were dead in trespasses and sins, we walked... 
1. according to the course of this world
2. according to the Prince of the power of the air
3. fulfilling the lust and desires of the flesh

The Spiritual Man in Christ
This is what he does...
1. love not the world (1Jn 2:15)
2. submit to God, resist the Devil and he will flee from you (Jas 4:7)
3. walk in the Spirit and do not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Gal 5:16)

What a contrast! Dear believers, let us be aware not to backslide into our previous condition. But let's work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, for we were bought with a price. May we love Him, walk with Him and live unto Him for His good pleasure and eternal glory. Amen!

Coming of the Lord

The Lord will come even before all places are evangelised. Really?  1. The Lord said so (Mat 10:23) 2. The fullest of the Gentile (Rom 11:25) is the number of Gentiles to be saved which no one knows and it should be reaching its quota soon 3. God has given other witnesses like His creation (Rom 1:20) and man's conscience (Rom 2:15)
