Maintaining spiritual balance comes with an understanding of the loss and gain that exists in spirituality. The rules that apply to a spiritual gain and loss are not the same as those seen from a carnal perspective. A good example of how this works is looking at the story of David and Goliath in the Holy Bible. David’s lack of height, weight, and battle experience should make it easier for him to defeat Goliath. From a carnal perspective, this would be the loss of David and the gain of Goliath and it would make logical sense. In the spirit world, the lack of David described above can easily be overcome with his faith and strength of spirit, while the opposite is true for Goliath. Maintaining spiritual balance requires that we understand how principles of this nature apply in our daily lives. The three cases described below help us to understand more deeply how spiritual balance is maintained.
Spiritual cleansing
Spiritual cleansing does not look at what we bring into our bodies. See what is in our hearts and spirits. If we have a clean heart and a spirit of obedience to God’s word, then we are rewarded with a place in his kingdom. The balance is maintained in spiritual cleansing by the mere fact that we cannot die for the physical. The balance is also maintained here by the fact that our true death is not from the loss of life, but from the loss of a place in the kingdom of God. Death is not fear in spiritual cleansing, but hell.
Death for the unjust
Another way of seeing how the balance of spiritual balance is possible is captured in these words of the Holy Bible, ‘Because hardly one will die for a just; however, perhaps some would even dare to die for a good man. But God recommends his love for us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ‘
These words show us that despite the evil deeds we commit, there is a safety net in accepting Christ in our lives. His death is our way to God and a means to seek justice. Seeing things from a carnal perspective would not make sense in this reasoning as to why our Lord must die for sinners. The death of our Lord here is our gain to maintain spiritual balance. This shows that God loves us and ensures that we always have the option to turn to him.
The offense of one man is the death of many
In another sense, spiritual balance is also maintained in these words of Scripture: “But not like the offense, so is the free gift. Because if for the transgression of one many die, much more the grace of God, and the gift of grace, which is by a single man, Jesus Christ, abounded for many. ‘These words of Scripture are written in reference to the sin committed by Adam in the Garden of Eden and how we are rescued from this sin through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The mystery behind the spirit world is difficult to understand when we use the wisdom of the world. However, we can see that God has a plan to save us from whatever situation we find ourselves in. If death came to us through the sin of a man, Adam, then life is returned to us by the righteousness of a man, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Spiritual balance allows us to understand God’s wisdom and love for us. If you reason carnally, it doesn’t make logical sense. It is also a means by which we know that there is a reward in store for us despite the long suffering or tribulation we may face in life.
