I remembered posting it (with permission) while planning t to interact with it.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially the article highlights seven marks of a spiritual man: (1) hunger for God\u2019s word; (2) dependency through prayer; (3) humility and obedience; (4) compassion for the lost; (5) longsuffering and forgiveness; (6) love towards the unlovely; (7) endurance and faithfulness. These seven marks are supported by various passages and are predicated on looking a certain way.<\/p>\n<p>A hunger for God\u2019s word is evidenced by daily devotions on God\u2019s word. Putting away desires of the natural man evidences a spirit of humility and obedience. An overwhelming concern for the lost (like being moved in the spirit or weeping like Christ) is evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s great to encourage someone to read the Word and meditate on it\u2014the Bible itself illustrates this in say Psalm 119, for instance. Unfortunately, I think the list winds up giving us a bunch of requirements that we all fall short of and, ultimately, can cause lost hope if we don\u2019t cheat our way to attaining it. I find myself in agreement with the article where it says \u201cmost of us must conclude that there is much to be done in our spiritual life\u201d but then don\u2019t feel like I should be aiming to do anything. After all, I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Gesner agrees when he states that the spiritual man is quietly growing and maturing in Christ with no attempts to self-improvement.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s now dissonance within me.<\/p>\n<p>I look at myself and find that I don\u2019t see this whole quiet growing in maturity. I find myself struggling. Sweating. Fighting. Gritting my teeth. Not because Christ\u2019s bond isn\u2019t easy (it is) but rather because I know myself. I totally identify with Romans 7 (Article <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2005\/study\/xvthe-dilema-of-law-romans-7\/\">one<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2009\/romans\/a-dawning-future-and-romans-7\/\">two<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>And then, when I see a list of rules like this, I find myself knowing (wrongly) that I can be spiritual just by doing these things. I\u2019ll read my Bible every day and think about it, and I\u2019m finally a better Christian than you. I neglect everything around me to give out tracts or something and I find myself a better Christian than you.<\/p>\n<p>I am then \u201cSpiritual\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>An all too <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2011\/brethren\/spirit-led-leadership\/\">common abuse of the Spiritual<\/a>. I can almost hear the most obnoxious group in Corinth, the ones who thought themselves as The Most Spiritual, puffing up their chests and saying \u201cWe\u2019re not of Paul or Peter: we are of Christ!\u201d and Paul immediately snapping when they speak up.\u00a0Martin Luther is so right:\u00a0The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why I love 1 Corinthians 12-14.<\/p>\n<p>English Bibles open the section saying something like \u201cconcerning spiritual gifts\u201d. But that\u2019s not what Paul says.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously the question they were asking in Corinth was about the spiritual gifts, lest Paul wouldn\u2019t spend the rest of the three chapters talking about them. But Corinth didn\u2019t have a problem with <em>having<\/em> Spiritual Gifts. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1 that they do not lack any of them.<\/p>\n<p>But that couldn\u2019t have been the extent of the question in light of the sharp divisions in the assembly and Paul\u2019s constant complaint about those who thought themselves spiritual and even not being able to speak to them as spiritual at all (1 Cor 3:1).<\/p>\n<p>Don Carson points out that it would seem to be a double-edged question: one group, say the Spiritual Group, asking \u201cAre spiritual gifts the mark of the Spiritual?\u201d and another group asking a similar question as a complaint. \u00a0So when Paul answers \u201cregarding The Spiritual\u201d it happily covers a nice range: from the gifts to those who are The Spiritual.<\/p>\n<p>Which has direct bearing on these sorts of lists.<\/p>\n<p>I see my confession of \u201cChrist is Lord\u201d in the first few verses and happily note that I didn\u2019t do that alone: <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2009\/spirit\/the-holy-spirit\/\">God\u2019s Spirit made it possible<\/a>. No struggling in the A.M to read the Bible. No rejection of everything natural with unwavering focus on the invisible: <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2009\/spirit\/the-holy-spirit-isnt-the-force\/\">God worked<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I see that my abilities (be they weak or not) are on a spectrum which is all God given. And by here I don\u2019t mean a gradating spectrum where some people\u2019s gifts are more and more useless; rather I mean that God himself is giving gifts for specific purposes to individuals for the <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2009\/spirit\/and-christians-arent-jedi-knights\/\">sake of the body<\/a>. Sure there should be an aiming at doing better and more effective things, but that\u2019s not the best.<\/p>\n<p>The best, says Paul, is love. God\u2019s grace lavished in us in love now reflected in us loving. He paints what it looks like and then quickly bolsters us by pointing out that we\u2019re not there yet and won\u2019t be there until when that is Perfect finally comes.<\/p>\n<p>Love always remains.<\/p>\n<p>That tells me something. This whole hunting for actions that The Spiritual Do is of a secondary importance. Paul spoke in tongues, which in Corinth was surely a Mark of the Spiritual, but he didn\u2019t give two figs about it. He would rather speak five intelligible words for the edification of all than speak 10,000 words as a mark of a Spiritual.<\/p>\n<p>So mess up. Grit your teeth. <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2009\/romans\/rejoice-in-tribulations-rom-5\/\">Struggle<\/a> with the jealousies in you. If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019re a screwed up and messy person. But look to<a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2009\/spirit\/but-christians-are-something-new\/\"> the freeing hope<\/a> found in God\u2019s Gospel that interrupted our lives with extravagant grace and love. Reflect that <a href=\"http:\/\/biblearchive.com\/blog\/2005\/study\/feet-washing-type-of-love-john-13\/\">love to others<\/a>, even when you feel unlovely, and you\u2019ll find that you are walking in the very steps of the Most Spiritual, Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Marks of the Spiritual Man aren\u2019t Bible Reading or weeping when Christ or Paul might have. The Marks of the Spiritual Man look like the God-Man, who was once pinned to a tree, coming back in a physical and marked up body to encourage his brothers saying \u201cWe\u2019re family. I\u2019ve conquered. You are conquerors with me. I\u2019ll come back for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s love revealed in action, no matter how ugly our marks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going back over my archives, I was reminded of an article from Milk &amp; Honey: the Marks of a Spiritual Man by Bob Gesner.
