P. 105
I Corinthians 2:12-14
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from
God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but
which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
People often argue that the Law was Spirit breathed, so it must apply to them.
People of God, the Law truly was Spirit breathed, but it was made for the unrighteous.
The Law was not made for the righteous.
It is like a man who argues that he should take his wife’s medical prescriptions
because they both go to the same doctor and he has found the doctor’s counsel to be
sound. Will the man take the medicine prescribed for his wife’s menopause and be
benefitted? Do you not perceive that the Spirit can speak something that is true, and
apply it to a certain group, but it was never intended for another? The Law was made
for the unrighteous, not the righteous. The Law is Spirit breathed, but if you are a
spiritual man it was never prescribed for you!
What has Yahweh prescribed for the spiritual man? He has prescribed a life led
of the Spirit!
Galatians 5:25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
This is the prescribed course of living for the spiritual man. The natural man was
led of the Law, but the spiritual man is led by the Spirit.
