That spirit of the world, or air, pervades Satan s world. It impels people to think, plan, speak, and act in ways that reflect the mind of Satan, the proud, defiant ruler of the authority of the air. Therefore, knowingly or unknowingly, those infected by the world s spirit allow their minds and hearts to be influenced by Satan, so that they reflect his thinking and attitude. As a result, they do what they want, without regard for the will of God. We should be determined to keep separate from the world by resisting its evil spirit.

We have received the spirit which is of God. This talks about our new heart that is receptive to the Holy Spirit.
