“May your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thess 5:23b). We are spirit beings; we live in a physical body and we have a soul (mind, will and emotions). When God created man, He formed our bodies from the “dust of the ground” and “breathed into us” the “breath of life”, our spirit being. (Gen 2:7; NKJV). God is Spirit (John 4:24) and we were created in His image (Gen 1:27). Before we believed in Jesus (Acts 16:31) and became Christians, we were spiritually dead because of sin in our lives (Eph 2:1) and Jesus told a Pharisee named Nicodemus that he had to be born again spiritually (John 3:3,5-7). Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins so we could be forgiven (Col 1:4) and be restored spiritually into fellowship with God (Titus 3:5), spirit to Spirit. As Christians, God’s Holy Spirit dwells in us (2 Cor 1:22) and interacts with our spirit, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Rom 8:16; NKJV). The Holy Spirit will develop His fruit in our lives if we allow Him. This fruit is “Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Gal 5:22-23; NKJV). This power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) through our spirit, helps to mature us to be more and more like Jesus (2 Cor 3:18). He reveals God’s words to us (John 14:16), enables us to have all God has for us and to be all God wants us to be (John 10:10). At the end of our lives here on earth we, our spirit beings, will be with God in heaven forever! (Eccl 12:7). Amen!
