The Strong and the Weak

The weak are emotional.
They are indefinite with their decisions and their faith. They are enslaved by other people’s opinions.
This causes them to be unhappy, even though they believe in God.

“While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal,” 2 Corinthians 4.18.

Those who are born of the Spirit are spirit. They live by a rational faith and disregard visions, feelings and emotions.
They believe in order to see, and do not need to see in order to believe.
Is this foolish? Certainly, it sounds foolish to the world.
But not to the world of faith, which is the Kingdom of the Spirit of God.

Unless you are born again, you cannot see the kingdom of the Spirit of God, John 3.3.
Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you cannot enter the kingdom of the Spirit of God, John 3.5.
Only those who are born of God are able to overcome the war for salvation because they use supernatural faith.

In contrast, those who are born of emotions, flesh or the natural man do not have the Holy Spirit and therefore, do not recognize the world of supernatural faith.
Because of this, they do not have the courage to assume a serious commitment with God, deny their own will, take up their cross and follow Him.
Instead, they are literally cowards. At the slightest sound of the war drums, they flee.
They do not have courage to deny sin and face the injustices of evil.
Their emotional faith makes them shy in front of their relatives, friends and acquaintances.

This does not happen with those who are born of God. Their faith is solid, well established and deeply rooted in the Word of God. They do not care about other people’s opinions...
And if everyone turns their back on them because of their faith, then that is when they become stronger.
They extract strength from their weaknesses and take possession of the promises.

"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned," I Corinthians 2.14
