Restoring Relationships
We are spiritual beings, created in the image of God when God breathed His His ruach breath or spirit, into us, giving us our own spirit. Our spirit is the essence of who we are, the emotions, personalities, character traits, thought process, etc. that give us our own unique identity.
The problem is once our spirit’s became corrupted by sin, the rest of our lives starts to show the results of that corruption, becoming cracked or utterly destroyed. The only way to regain wholeness is through a life with Jesus, allowing Him to transform and heal us through His Holy Spirit.
I mentioned last week how this corruption is especially noticeable in how we interact with others. We saw how sin causes relationships both with God and others to be cracked and even completely shattered. On the other hand we also saw that God wants us to learn how to be like Him through the story of the Prodigal Son. The only way for that to happen is if we allow Him to step in and heal us and our relationships and teach us how to have healthy interactions with others.
THE RENEWAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
He can and will restore the broken relationships in our lives if we let Him.
Today, we’re going to take a look at a specific principle in Scripture to see how God can restore our relationships if we turn to Him. I’ve actually mentioned this principle in the other episodes as well.
When we submit our lives to Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes and makes our lives His dwelling place and begins the work of healing, cleansing, and transforming us so that we no longer have to be broken and corrupt. Paul calls this process “the renewing of our minds” in Romans 12:2. The Holy Spirit takes the corruption in our minds and hearts that causes brokenness, cleanses it from us and healing us from all its effects, and then teaches us stay pure and holy.
As we walk with Jesus, following the leading and the voice of the Holy Spirit, He helps us to walk the way He wants us to walk rather than following our corrupt human nature. Paul emphasizes this principle in Galatians 5 where he talks about the fruit of the flesh versus the fruit of the spirit. As we follow the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to renew, our character begins to be changed.
