God's Spirit and ours

www.brainpickings.org

I've frequently wondered how it all works with us having a spirit, and God having a spirit, and then us having God's spirit!

Just come across this in 1 Corinthians 6:16b-17 ... 

"For two, saith he, shall be one flesh.  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."

So, as in marriage when two (man and wife) become one, and as, therefore, in salvation redemption when two (Jesus and church) become one ... so, in the individual, in personal salvation, two (man's spirit and God's spirit) become one?

... No wonder God doesn't want us to marry non-Christians!  What would that proclaim to creation?  That God ultimately will be united with those who have not been saved through faith by grace ... so, a lie ... which God hates.  So let's not marry non-Christians.

 That's that sorted then!

    [Original comment of 12:25 pm, March 11, 2013 edited to include verses]

    ... forgive me for being flippant - in life, I often defer to 1 Corinthians 6:12 / 10:23:

    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

    All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Thank you for leaving a comment. Forgive me if I don't reply to every one - it doesn't mean they weren't read and valued.
