you are...BE according to the 'spirit' within you.  You are either the slave of unrighteousness or servant of Righteousness.  Either you have the SAME Spirit, Father, Mind at work within you as Jesus the Christ or you do not.  Do you not believe the Father sends His own Spirit into His Chosen, Elected soul?  Do you even understand the Meaning of Rebirth?  The being ENTIRELY a new creature...not born of mortal father, human spirit of flesh/lust but Born of God, Spirit.  Having the SAME Nature as the Father.   The heart hardened by a delusion of sin.  The Spirit of God separates us from the flock of death, angel...shepherd of death...into the Flock of Holiness, Life, Truth.  God the Spirit of Righteousness, Holiness, FAITH...ENTERING AND TRANSFORMING THE SOUL INTO His Temple of TRUE Worship.  We Sacrifice according to the Will of God.  We Say  NO to Sin by the indwelling Power of His Spirit.  We obey God by the Power of His Spirit, His Will.

The HUMAN spirit does not desire to be CAST OUT of you by Faith.  Sin nature does not desire you to Walk according to Spirit by Faith.  The battle...the fight...the victory is through Faith in God His Will and His Power.

That which the  Father CALLS...Comes to Him through the Spirit...of Rebirth.  You cannot elect yourself...seek God in a different "spirit".  'This day I have Begotten thee...TODAY...you are Mine.  No animal-man, Sin natured man can regenerate himself into being God's offspring, progeny.

Truth:  ONLY him born of the Spirit, filled with, submitted to...UNDER the Spirit...can TRULY say: Jesus is my Lord.

The children of HUMAN fathers read, hear Scriptures...but it does not profit them because there is no Faith in them.  Genuine Faith...not unbelief, doubt temporarily masquerading as Faith.

The death of SELF...old man...daily crucified, pleasing not self, human spirit, flesh...but God.  Jesus: there is none Good but God...God, Father IS...IN Me...Spirit alone is Good not Me.  Jesus, always did the Will of the Father...was ONE with Spirit, Divine Nature.  God GIVES the Spirit of Power, Righteousness...to the believing soul...into the heart opened to receive Him.  To live according to spirit of flesh, sin nature, human nature...to do works of unrighteousness causes, ends in death....of both body and soul.  The Son of God cannot be Sacrificed AGAIN if you fall away, shrink back into the darkness...from the Light.  Do not DELIBERATELY turn away...RESIST...reject Him.

Christ...the Living Stone...Chosen by God...rejected by the children of human fathers,  Solid Rock beneath our feet.
