Did You Know God Made You With Three Parts? - A Bible Study with College Students

   Have you ever heard that  God made you with three parts?  Way back in Genesis when God created man you can see that God made man in this way:

Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [this Hebrew word is translated spirit in Proverbs 20:27[, and man became a living soul.  Genesis 2:7

      I grew up hearing about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (which was called the Holy Ghost, I never quite understood why it was called that).  But I never knew I had a spirit in me. Did you know there's  even a verse in the Bible that says that God made man with a human spirit?  It's in one of the oldest books in the Bible--Job 32:8  But there is a spirit in man....   Last Friday we all read the chapter "The Key to Experiencing Christ--The Human Spirit" in the booklet Basic Elements of the Christian Life.  Because of the clear presentation and supporting Scripture, all the college students got the connections that the body contacts the physical world, the soul the psychological world, but the spirit contacts God's Spirit.  

    Check out this verse that was on the first page of the chapter--1 Thessalonians 5:23 which says, And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Notice that an AND separates each one showing that they are distinct parts of your being.  In the next blog, which is called God's Spirit & Man's Spirit I'll explain about how our spirit is the key.

Blog update 5/8/13 -  Today I found on Youtube a 3 part video presentation put out by Bibles for America called The Key to Experiencing Christ - The human Spirit which is based on a booklet by the same title published by Living Stream Ministry.


Blog Update 5/22/13:   You can order your own free copy of this booklet from Bibles for America.
