Made Whole — Body, Soul & Spirit
You are not a body that happens to have a soul. You are spirit, soul and body — and the Gospel lays claim to all three. The Word cuts deep enough to divide soul from spirit, and grace reaches every part.
“May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Body — Soma
Formed from the dust of the ground — sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. The vessel that carries us, and the part that still awaits its redemption.
Genesis 2:7Soul — Psyche
The mind, the will, the emotions — the self that thinks, chooses and feels. Left to itself it stays carnal and natural; under grace it is renewed day by day.
1 Corinthians 2:14 · 3:1–3Spirit — Pneuma
Intuition, communion, conscience — the inmost place where God meets us. Once dead, now made alive and seated with Christ. This is where the cross does its work.
Ephesians 2:6 · Hebrews 4:12I Am Body, Soul & Spirit
I am body — formed from dust, a vessel for His glory.
I am soul — mind, will and emotion, renewed by His Word.
I am spirit — once dead, now alive, the lamp of the Lord reignited.
I was broken in Eden, but reborn in Christ.
My body awaits redemption, my soul is being restored, and my spirit burns with His breath.
I am not carnal, nor merely natural — I am spiritual.
I am seated with Christ in the heavenlies.
I am Find-The-Way — restored, redeemed, reborn.
