Three Kinds Of People



This Is A Sermon For Everybody.

Some sermons to convert the lost.
Some sermons to feed or correct believers.
This one´s for you.

There Are 3 Kinds Of People.

The natural man.
The spiritual man.
The carnal man.

Let´s Look At All 3.

The Natural Man

read 1 Corinthians 2:14

Paul´s Message And Method 1 Corinthians 2:1-13

His message was Christ and Him crucified 1 Corinthians 3:2
His method was preaching in the power of God 1 Corinthians 3:3-4
He wanted to reach the natural man.

The Natural Man Has Not Been Born Again.

He cannot understand spiritual things.
They are foolishness to him.

The Bible Is A Dark Book To The Natural Man.

The Destiny Of The Natural Man Is Destruction.

The Need Of The Natural Man Is Salvation.

All people are naturally lost  Romans 3:23
All lost people can be saved.  John 6:37, Romans 10:9

The Spiritual Man

read  1 Corinthians 2:15

The Spiritual Man Was Once A Natural Man.

Salvation Through Faith In Christ Transformed Him.

Once doomed, now delivered.
Once lost, now found.
Once bound for hell, now bound for heaven.

The Holy Spirit Teaches The Spiritual Man 1 Corinthians 2:11-13

The Spiritual Man Discerns (Understands) All Things.

Sees God at work in the world.
Sees God at work in his or her life.

He Is Not Understood By Others.

The warning of Jesus. John 15:18-20
Peter´s explanation  1 Peter 4:12-14

The Spiritual Man Has The Mind Of Christ  1 Corinthians 2:16

The Carnal Man

read 1 Corinthians 3:1-4

The Carnal Man Is Confused

The natural man lives for the moment
The spiritual man lays up treasures in heaven
The carnal man tries looking both ways

Contradiction Of The Carnal Man

He knows what is right but doesn´t do it
He knows the world is lost but clings to it
He is like Lot lingering in Sodom

The Carnal Man Needs Full Commitment To Christ

Conclusion

Which Person Art You?

Christ Will Meet You Where You Are.

He Will Make You The Spiritual Person You Ought To Be.

It´s Your Move!!!!!

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ´s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

1 Corinthians 2:1 And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.
2 For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.
3 And I was with you without strength, in fear and in doubt.
4 And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:
5 So that your faith might be based not on man´s wisdom but on the power of God.
6 But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:
7 But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;
8 Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:
9 But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.
10 But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.
11 For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.
12 But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.
13 And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man´s wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.
