Our Human Spirit Revealed in the NT

The prior posts are about using our spirit to cooperate with the Lord, exercising our spirit, and praying the Word with our spirit.

Because many Christians are not familiar with having a human spirit, here are NT verses in addition to those in the prior posts. There are also OT verses about our spirit.
• Acts 7:59, Stephen “called upon the Lord and said, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
• Acts 17:16, “While Paul was waiting…his spirit was provoked within him.”
• Romans 1:9, “God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son.”
• Romans 8:16, “The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.”
• 1 Corinthians 16:18, “For they refreshed my spirit and yours.”
• 2 Corinthians 2:13, “I had no rest in my spirit.”
• Galatians 6:18, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers.”
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23, “May your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete.”
• 2 Timothy 4:22, “The Lord be with your spirit.”

God has regenerated our spirit through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now His desire is to spread outward from our spirit to our soul, especially our mind, to renew us from the old creation to His new creation. This is Ephesians 4:23, “be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”

Do Christian Values Work in What We Call the "Real World"?
In his classic text, The Contemplative Pastor, Eugene Peterson wrote:As a pastor, I don’t like being viewed as nice but insignificant. I bristle when a high-energy executive leaves the place of worship with the comment, ‘This was wonderful, Pastor, but now we have to get back to the real world, don’t we?’ I had thought we were in the most-real world, the world revealed as God’s, a world believed to be invaded by God’s grace and turning on the pivot of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.
