Exercise-your-spirit-a-Training-Camp

The Lord Jesus Christ is ever new and ever fresh. The Christian life is rich with the enjoyment of such a Christ. 

  • But how do we live such a life?
  • How can we serve God and how can we walk with God in our daily life?
  • When we say, “Exercise your spirit”. What comes to mind?

The way to live the Christian life is by the exercise of our spirit. In this Bible study we present a genuine training on how to exercise our human spirit. 

Find yourself struggling with the exercise of your spirit? Open up to the Lord about it and also open up to other Christians about it. By sharing our struggles, we can help one another. 

Get into the attached Bible verses and study materials in a prayerful and sober way and energize your Christian life by the exercise of your spirit.

Fellowship to help us know Christ and pursue Him

God created us with a human spirit for good reason. The human spirit matches God’s Spirit so that God can dispense Himself into us. We know from John 4:24 that God is Spirit, and by all the verses above (and so many more) we also see that we have a human spirit. By it we contact God and receive Him! John 3:6 shows us that the part in our being where we were born again was our human spirit.

A hymn titled “There’s a Life That’s Deeper than our Mind” talks about touching our human spirit. In this hymn there is also a call to the Christ who is in our spirit to come make home in our heart– that is, to spread out from our human spirit to our whole being. (You can see the lyrics to the whole hymn here: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/217 ).

When we touch our spirit—such a thrill!
This is far beyond emotion, mind, and will—
It’s within our hidden part—
Come, make home in all our heart;
Let Your presence flow as rivers deep within.

All the genuine spiritual experiences in our Christian life are experiences in our human spirit.

We may have previously thought that we were only made of an inner part and an outer part, but the Bible reveals a third part, the human spirit. How wonderful it is to discover our human spirit!

We invite you to read this excerpt on the human spirit. It is only a small portion from a series of lessons designed to impart the truth of the Bible to young people.
