AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 5:23 ¶ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged--consecrated to Him--set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
Bible Question:
Well i really want to know about the spirit man and the soul how it was formed am learning the bible and want to understand the spirit and the soul.What does the spirit do for us and the soul. Thank you |
Bible Answer: It is not the spirit or soul that DOES anything for us rather it is God who gives the spirit and is Maker of the Spirit that gives us Eternal life if we so choose to accept the Gift...just as you were given a body of flesh, you were also given life (spirit/soul) It is hard to describe a spirit or soul just as it is hard to describe God...all we know from Scripture is that God gave us life and God is the Judge of whether or not we inherit eternal Life...As a visual, I imagine God as this huge Spiritual Entity (like a ball of light) that breathed a part of Himself...a smidgen, a whisper of Himself into our fleshly bodies (vessels) so that we can say as He does "I am"...without a spirit would you know that "you are"? Does a cat know that it is? Sure, but not on our level...does a plant? Probably not but because it has no spirit...This requires much thinking and searching but is an intriguing topic...Hope I didn't confuse you more! |
