Body, Soul and Spirit


1 Thessalonians 5:22-23 

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Body, soul, and spirit

 

Look at me “body, soul and spirit”, has an angel only one?

I have three and that is common … look at me, three in one.

 

What is it about this question … what to understand?

What for example … happens when the spirit is dead?

 

Are then two within me living … only two-thirds of me alive?

Is it possible for that to happen … “one for all” and all inside?

 

So when one is dead, all are the same ... in life all breathe together?

So to be three in one … the spirit’s life will live forever.

 

Are the body and spirit renewed through death ... joined through resurrection?

The spirit being the instrument … used for the reborn full expression.

 

Emotions then regulated by the spirit’s full compassion

and sensitive to every need … of friend or foe in depression.

 

The mind will also cooperate with the spirit’s quiet direction.

No more wandering in intellect only reason to God’s satisfaction.

 

The “will” will fall in place… to become one with God’s.

To be remolded with a Holy start … to the image of Christ, our Lord.
