The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly (Proverbs 20:27)
Man relates to God through his spirit because God is spirit. So it matters very much how you develop your spirit man in order to connect with God. That is why salvation is very important as the first step. Moreover, it is the responsibility of your spirit to discover the secrets of life and make life exciting and fulfilling.
