"I'm Only Human!"

How many times have you heard, “He’s only human!” or “She’s only human!”? Or more importantly, how many times have you said about yourself, “I’m only human!”?
Well, all these statements are just plain wrong!
An animal is just an animal. A fish is just a fish. A tree is just a tree. The Earth is just the Earth. The Sun is just the Sun. The galaxy is just the galaxy. All the elements of the universe are just material creation.
BUT – we humans are more than just material humans. We have something that nothing else in creation has: “the image of God” (Genesis 1:26-27). In other words, we have been given something from the spirit world that animals and other lower forms of creation don’t have which the Bible calls the “human spirit”.
This human spirit is the core of WHO WE ARE. And we are created to be controlled by this human spirit.
Before our new birth as Christians, because of the Fall, our human spirit contained the nature of Satan (John 8:44). After our new birth, our human spirit contains and is joined to the nature of God through the indwelling Jesus Christ.
God has said that he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17). He has also said that He is the divine treasure and we, the believers, are the vessels that contain Him. He is the vine and believers are the branches. He is their owner, and believers are His bondslaves. He is the deity placed in the human temple to manifest and display Him. He is the husband furnishing the seed to the productive wife.
The vessel, the branch, the temple, the wife – are all dependent. The vessel is dependent upon the contents, the branch upon the vine, the temple upon the deity, and the wife upon the husband for the seed.
With this in mind, if you have been seeing yourself as an “independent” person and have acted from that belief, realize that you have gone for Satan’s lie about the believer. You have gone for Satan’s lie about yourself.
When God sees you, He only sees union with Himself through Christ. Satan sees and sponsors this divided outlook. The worst sin you will ever find out you have committed is the sin of wrong believing about yourself.
