What is Spirit, Soul, and Body?


Sunday, July 7, 2013
Led by Eric Gintert


1Thessalonians 5:23

  • We are spirit, soul, and body... a 3 part being.
Who is the spirit, who is the soul, and who is the body? Find out who you are and you'll find out who God is.

Genesis 1:26-27
  • God said "Let us" in "our image" and "our likeness". Why is singular (God) speaking in plural (us & our)?
1 John 5:7
  • God, as a whole, is 1) The Father, 2) The Word, & 3) The Holy Ghost. Three in one.
John 1:1, 14
  • The Word is Jesus!
Genesis 2:7
  • Just as God is Spirit (Holy Spirit), Soul (The Father), and Body (The Word/Jesus), So we are spirit, soul, and body. Made in His image and His likeness.
  • The Dust of the Ground = The Body (flesh)
  • Breath of Life = The Spirit (breath means spirit, Spirit of God)
  • Living Soul = The Soul (living being or creature)
James 2:26
  • The body without the spirit is dead
  • In Genesis 2, Adam was created with the Spirit of God. When His Spirit is gone, we are dead.
Genesis 2:16-17
  • God told Adam if he ate of the tree, he would surely die.
  • Adam's body didn't die... did God lie? What did die then, the soul or the spirit?
John 3:1-6
  • That which is born of flesh is flesh.
  • That which is born of Spirit is spirit.
The Spirit of God died in Adam after he sinned(Genesis 2:17, James 2:26). Adam was created with the Spirit of God in him from "birth" but we weren't because after The Fall was death and all must now be born again. After their sin, Adam and Eve had a worldly spirit and saw themselves that they were naked and were ashamed.

Romans 5:12
  • Adam brought sin and death into the world and we are no longer born with the Spirit of God in us because we are now born with a sin nature.
Romans 6:23
  • The wages of sin is death.
  • The Gift of God is eternal life.
1 John 3:9
  • If God's seed is in us, we cannot sin.
What part of us sins? The body & the soul.

The soul is the conscience that feels guilty for sin. The one that tells us we're not good enough. The soul is also emotions, feelings, and our heart.

Hebrews 4:12
  •  Divide asunder the soul, spirit, and joints & marrow (flesh?).
Matthew 26:41
  • The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
James 5:19-20 & Proverns 11:30
  • This is not talking about saving a lost person. He is specifically speaking to a believer, brethren.
  • It's about turning a saved person from the sin of the flesh and the soul.

Don't Be Naked! - Loins Girt with Truth

The Whole Armor of God This Week: Loins Girt with Truth Click image to enlarge. Sunday, October 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God is meant to protect us, that we may be able to stand against the powers and principalities that come against us. What are the Loins Girt about with Truth for? The loins help you to stand. They give you support to stand. They help you to get up when you've fallen. John 8:31-32 The truth makes you free and you'll know His disciples because they continue in His Word. John 14:6 Jesus is the  way, the  truth, and the  life. He is NOT a  way, a  truth, or a  life. Hebrews 13:8-9 The truth of Jesus does not change. Don't be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. The truth is being trodden down in our day and age. He did not leave us blind in the Word.  How much are we putting our trust in the Lord? We must put on the truth so we're not ca...

Freaking out in Times of Peace

Sunday, June 24, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Encouragement from the Lord that He is our rock and fortress, He is our peace in the storm... so stop FREAKING OUT! :-) Psalm 3:1-8 The enemy is not necessarily people coming against him, but powers and principalities (spiritual warfare). The battle is often in the mind with doubt, depression, etc. This is why we are commanded not to be fearful of the one who destroys the body, but the one who destroys the soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28) David knew that God was his shield and strong tower, his protector. Matthew 8:23-27 In the midst of the storm, Jesus was sleeping in the bottom of the boat. Even when everyone else was freaking out, Jesus was at peace. Peace was right their in the ship with them, and they were freaking out! Jesus rebuked them saying, "Why are ye fearful, o ye of little faith?" Prayer Requests Fields Family  -  house to rent Joel F. mom & dad  -  mom going through 4 surgery...

Is There Oil in Your Lamp?

Sunday, March 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 25:1-13 The lamp represents your heart. The oil represents the Holy Spirit. When the virgins heard the announcement that the bridegroom was come, they were excited. Unfortunately only five of them were prepared. For the five foolish virgins, their fire went out when nothing exciting was happening. Then, when the excitement came, they didn't have enough oil to get the fire started again.  The five wise virgins knew that they couldn't give the oil (Holy Spirit) to the other women. You can live your life however you want, like the foolish virgins did, and expect to get right with God at the end of your life after you've done everything you wanted first. It's too late at that point because the door was shut. Matthew 24:36-39 The last days will be like it was in the days of Noah. Evil imaginations in the heart of man was (and now is) rampant on earth. Genesis 7:1,16 God called Noah and his family int...
