Q:"And that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."When one receives Jesus Christ one is placing himself under the Law of the Spirit so to speak. Is it not?
A:Yes. Predestination otherwise has no value. In spiritual terms law of sin operating over the sinful flesh is dead and as new creation you were as John in his Gospel says," No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." ( John 1:18). You were in the divine Will since you received the word as the truth.Without hitching your wagon to the Word which was made flesh you cannot be conformed in the image of his Son. Predestination is set on the basis of the Law of the Spirit that is what St Paul refers to the Father as "who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."Consider the blessing of the glorious body the Father had provided,"A body hast thou me prepared'' glory of which is from God. In the Vision of Dry Bones we are told how God fleshes us out according to his purpose."Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:/And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord."(Ez.37:5-6) It is our faith that makes it possible."but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live./ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."(Ro.8:13-14)
Another blessing is being taught of the Lord how to conduct ourselves in this wicked world and among untoward generation. In 2 Sa,5 23-25 God helped David win a victory over th philistines and all he had to wait for His signal. It is thus we are helped from above. We are alive to be led by by the Spirit but dead to the ways of the world.
