' I I At the fall it was disaster. The mysterious link was destroyed. This ended Adam's free communication with God. (See Hebrews 4:12.) As the Holy Spirit comes in at rebirth when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our spiritual body is re-born, or rejuvenated so that we can commune with and worship the Lord as Adam did before the fall. The fact that it is through our human spirit that we commune with God (with the help of the Holy Spirit) is clearly demonstrated in the fol lowing verse: I ' I 1

"[Jesus speaking] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24

Please note in these two verses that when God is referred to as being a "Spirit" the word is spelled with a capital "S." However, the human spirit is clearly differentiated by spell ing it with a small "s." Therefore, only a spirit can com mune (or communicate) with the spirit world, in this case, worshiping God the Father who is a Spirit.
