Name at least five biblical terms that are synonymous with spirituality.
Scripture draws a line down every page between two kinds of life, and many terms describe the same contrast between spirituality and carnality. To be spiritual is to be filled by means of the Spirit, to be in the Spirit, to walk by the energy of the Spirit, to be in fellowship, and to walk in godliness; it is also spoken of as being the spiritual man rather than the natural man, walking in the light rather than the darkness, walking by faith rather than by sight, and producing divine good rather than human good. Each pair says the same thing Jesus said to Nicodemus—that everything on one side is death and everything on the other is life.
