Spirit, fallen and redeemed

Every aspect of the human personality, including the spirit, was affected by the fall. At regeneration the human personality is transformed by the Holy Spirit.

The human spirit is directly created by God

Numbers 16:22 See also Isaiah 42:5; Zechariah 12:1; Hebrews 12:9 “human fathers” is literally “fathers of our flesh (bodies)”, i.e., there is an antithesis between those who are the fathers of people's bodies and God, who is the Father of their spirits. Thus bodies are derived from parents but souls from God.

But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”

The human spirit was affected by the fall

Jeremiah 17:9 See also Genesis 6:5; Psalm 64:6, Psalm 78:37; Matthew 15:19 parallel Mark 7:21; Ezekiel 18:31

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

The human spirit is renewed by the Holy Spirit at regeneration

Ezekiel 36:26–27 See also Psalm 51:10; Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 11:19; John 3:6; Romans 8:10; Galatians 5:22–23

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.

The regenerated human spirit beyond death

It is perfected in heaven

Hebrews 12:22–23 See also 2 Corinthians 5:8

Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

It is incomplete without a resurrection body

Romans 8:23 See also 2 Corinthians 5:1–4

Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
