Greater Intimacy With Our Creator. Robert Sr. Eldredge Sr.

will, and emotions” of our eternal SOUL, and then to the even more specific thoughts and the intents of our MIND.

      This seems to imply that the most effective expression of our love for our Creator is with the thoughts and the intents of our MIND, for this is where we express our most intimate feelings.

      We are all spirit beings who have a soul and live in a body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23) The human SPIRIT and SOUL that we received from our parents at conception were both defiled by the sins and “iniquities” of our ancestors, so they must first be cleansed before we can love God fully “with all of our heart, soul, and mind.”

      However, if you have been “born again,” then your human spirit has already been cleansed, for “God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your heart, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6)

      And since your human spirit has already been cleansed and “made alive” by the indwelling Spirit of Christ, your focus should now be on how to love God more with all aspects of your eternal SOUL.

      And since your eternal soul consists primarily of your MIND, your WILL, and your EMOTIONS; the following three chapters reveal how you can have greater intimacy with our Creator in these same three areas.

      Again, if you are not sure whether or not you have ever really been spiritually “born again,” this is more fully explained in Chapter Five.

      This is extremely important. If you have any doubts at all about your relationship with God, you really should check this out! It is far better to be (eternally) “safe” than (eternally) “sorry!”
