John 4:24
God is Spirit
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 3:5-7
We Must Be Reborn of the Spirit
5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
Matthew 10:28
Fear God
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Jesus teaches us that God is a Spirit...He does not have a physical body like us...We must remember this and worship Him in Spirit and Truth...This is hard to understand and is mysterious...But our Father is very complex, which makes Him the most difficult (thing ever) to understand...This sounds reasonable to anyone who believes God is Almighty and is the Creator of the universe...He also is a mystery to us, yet believers in their mind's eye have a vision, or a thought, a feeling, or an idea about Him...
Many theists have interpreted the born of water, as the time we live in our mother's womb and we are living in water...Then our new mother's water breaks, and here we are -we are born for the first time... We are born and our body is and has many elements, but mostly we are water...Our bodies are made up of a mind, a body, and a soul...The mind houses our thoughts...The mind allows us to think...The mind ages and grows old...The body houses our physicality...The body allows us to move around, walk, hold things, allows us to eat, and so on...The body ages and grows old...The soul houses our Spirit...Our soul is the Spiritual part of us...It is the most important part of the three parts of us...The soul and the Spirit it houses, has power our mind, our body, and the soul itself...The soul continues on to eternity...
Men can harm, hurt, destroy, and kill other men's bodies...But we know that God and God alone is the Only One who can kill both the body and soul...And Jesus teaches us to be afraid of only the One who can kill both...Since man, and other men cannot kill the soul, Jesus is telling us a little about eternal life...Man, and other men in our lives do not control our eternal life and soul -Only God does...We must nurture our souls...Help the soul improve, grow, mature, whatever it takes...The Bible and prayer are food for the soul...God connects with us in our very soul, which houses our Spirit... Our souls will exist forever and the soul cannot be killed by man...
The mind will fade, forget, and age...The body will with grow older and more feeble...But the soul will live on...Our souls will rest with our Father in His kingdom...Our souls will be at peace there...We are children of God, and connected to Him by our soul...
Since God is a Spirit, for us to get to Him and His kingdom, we must be reborn...We need strong souls...We need them to be full of the Holy Spirit...But God works so subtly in His work of the Spirit, we hardly (it seems to me) notice the work He and His Son are doing to us...But, nonetheless, we must become more like His Son, which is Spirit to get close to Him and enter His kingdom...We need God in us, planted in our souls to get to His kingdom...We must be reborn, strengthening our Spirit...We want our Spirit ready for its most important meeting...The soul is the very treasure Jesus talks about...
The cross is the way to the new birth...Jesus in the Way, the Truth, and the Life...No one gets to the Father except through Him...The new birth, our new re-birth is by our faith in Him and His Father...Then we are saved by grace...His grace, because God is not only Spirit, but God is Love...God wants His children, all His children back home with Him...
