THE LANGUAGE OF THE RECREATED MAN
by admin on Jul.15, 2010, under Uncategorized
Man is a spirit, but he has a soul and lives in a body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (NKJV). The human body is actually man’s domicile, his dwelling place. When a person is born again, his spirit is recreated, and that’s why the Bible says if any man be in Christ he’s a new creature, a new type of being that never existed before (2 Corinthians 5:1 7). God, by the Holy Spirit, then gives that recreated human spirit a new language and that language is what the scriptures refer to as tongues of angels” in 1 Corinthians 13:1.
After His resurrection and just before He ‘as received up into Heaven, Jesus gave His disciples a rundown of the characteristic features of the new creatures by which they could be easily identified. He listed to them the many things they will be known for, things they will be able to do in His Name:
“. .These signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover”
(Mark 16:17-18).
