John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.
We say we are alive because of this spirit within us which gives us free choice and the ability to act on those choices.
I cannot believe we just arrived at a point where we could have a spirit but firmly trust God has given us this amazing gift.
Our flesh is just a carriage or vehicle for this amazing spirit, or soul, to live in.
Jesus was telling the people around Him that these words were for the spirit to take in and believe, not the flesh… they were life-giving for our souls!
