Man is a spirit being with a
soul enclosed in a physical container called body. According to the Bible, God
made man from the dust of the ground, and then breathed life into him. This
life is the spirit of man that guides him until his death when it shall return
back to God. See Genesis 2:7, Ecclesiastes 12:7.
Our spirit man is also referred to as our heart, conscience, and inner man.
Spirit has no gender.
Soul is that part of man that
contains his mind, thoughts, emotions, senses, mindset, intellect, and
feelings.
Man’s body houses the soul and
the spirit. It is the tangible part of man that interfaces with the physical
environment in the material world.
The Higher Power speaks to man
via the voice of the spirit. A natural man is spiritually dead, and finds it
hard to hear the voice of the spirit, except on few occasions when his mind is
in tune with the signals of the spirit man.
