Study Notes
Body, Soul, and Spirit
- Humans are created with a body, soul, and spirit.
- Bodies are physical and self-evident.
- Souls encompass mind, will, emotions, and conscience.
- Spirits are the connection with God and the innermost selves.
- Individuals are a spirit with a soul living in a body.
Generational Sin
- Humanity is born spiritually dead, due to generational sin.
- Generational sin is passed on from Adam and Eve.
- Faith in Jesus Christ brings a new, regenerated spirit, which is alive and righteous.
- The Bible refers to this new spirit as being "born again."
Receiving A New Spirit
- Repenting and placing trust in Jesus leads to a new spirit.
- Physical attributes (e.g., height, weight) remain unchanged after spiritual rebirth.
- Personality traits don't change immediately after the new spirit is received.
- Spiritual transformation of soul and body takes time and effort.
- The Christian life involves a journey of soul transformation, learning God's ways, aligning the soul with the transformation already occurring in the spirit.
- Discipleship or sanctification happens through continually renewing minds through God's word, teaching, training, and the Holy Spirit.
The Spiritual Rebirth
- A new heart and spirit are given by God (Ezekiel 36:26).
- A new spirit is given to those who were dead in trespasses and sin (Ephesians 2:1).
- The Kingdom of God is reserved for those who are born again (John 3:3).
- Christians are a "new creation" when reborn (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Components of Human Beings
- Humanity is composed of two essential parts: body and spirit.
- Scripture often describes humankind as a spiritual unity rather than a dichotomy (separate parts).
- The soul can also include the intellect, conscience, and emotions, that are not separate parts but aspects, a unified whole.
Trichotomy and Dichotomy
- The concepts of dichotomy (two parts) and trichotomy (three parts) are debated.
- Some believe that humans are comprised of body, soul, and spirit. Others believe it is body and spirit, recognizing the soul as a result of these two combined.
- Some suggest a combination of body, soul, and spirit is the true understanding.
- Regardless of the specific interpretation, individuals can unite in praising God.
