Man have his body formed out of ground which is his natural body. As a living soul his inner man represents the body God has prepared in his Son. This two worlds have only one speech which is faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Man created "in our image" nevertheless has body, spirit and soul move as one. This has its triadic motives in his inner man which we shall examine in this post. "I am theLordthy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it./But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me./So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels."(Ps.81:10-13)
Mouth: "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." God's voice promises blessing. When one believes and confesses Jesus as the Lord unto salvation.
Heart: A spiritual space where truth holds a candle,Spirit holds a candle, "The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly."(Pr.20:27)
Belly: refers to the earthy. From the Psalm quote, Israel's problem was that their heart was not right before God. So the candle was out and they walked in their own counsels. Their walk was different from what St Paul refers to his walk, "For we walk by faith, not by sight:)/We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. "(2 Co.5:7-8) He walked as Enoch and Noah did. This is what inner man does in obedience to the word sown, and bearing fruits do. So man cannot please God without faith. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."(Ps.119:11)
How do we read the Bible. Natural man applies reason which is like watching a 3-D film without polaroid glasses. Hence we have all the heresies we wrestle with to no profit.
Instead hear with ear of faith and see with eye of faith which shall build us up.
