Three Types Of People Spiritually
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Oct 15, 2019 (message contributor)
(Joshua 1, I Corinth. 2:13-3:3)
EGYPT (NATURAL) - unbelievers who are in bondage to sin. Christ is on the outside of their life. Those in Egypt were freed from their slavery by the blood of a sacrificial Lamb, a picture of Christ on the Cross, who sets us free from sin.
WILDERNESS (CARNAL) – a believer who has Christ as Resident, but not PRESIDENT. Self, not Christ, is on the throne of this person’s life. The Carnal Christian lives in spiritual defeat.
CANAAN (SPIRITUAL) – the victorious believer who is living in obedience to the Word and Spirit of God. This believer is not perfect, but he is experiencing growth and victory because Christ is on the throne of his life.
