Brief explanation of Spirit, Soul and Body:
1) Spirit - relates to God – our God consciousness or our awareness of God. We relate to God through our Intuition (insight, our instantaneous comprehension); our conscience (inner moral self, knowledge or feeling of right and wrong); and by communion (sharing together, fellowship, interchange of thoughts or interests; a state of giving and receiving; agreement; a personal relationship).
2) Soul - relates to others – our personality or self-awareness; our relationship with others; our mind, emotions and will.
3) Body - How we relate to the things around us through our senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
The body is predominant; that’s what we see first. Our tendency is to judge by appearance. Our judgment might completely change when we get to know a person.
Our human nature is to judge people by their looks, but true knowledge only comes through relationship; spirit to spirit.
1) From the definition of soul, would you say a dog has a soul?
2) Does he have a spirit?
3) When you were saved, where did salvation take place Spirit, Soul or Body?
The answers to these questions are:
#1 - Yes, a dog has a soul because he has a personality. Some are mean and vicious and others are sweet and meek.
Answer #2 - No, a dog doesn't have a spirit because only man is made in God’s image.
Answer #3 – Your salvation took place in your spirit for that is how God communicates with you.
