BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT OF A MAN

1. WHAT IS BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT OF A MAN?

The Human Body which has been designed and made by God according to the Bible, is endowed with five physical senses
The Human body has the senses of touch, smell, hearing, sight and taste
The Body is perishable, mortal and is subject to pain, suffering and sickness
The Body is essential for existence on this planet, and it is endowed with a Soul and a Spirit.
The Soul consists of a Mind, an Emotion and a Will
Emotion is intricately intertwined with the Spirit, and both of them operate in and through the human body
Emotion includes happiness, sadness, worry, dullness, being moody, excitement etc.
Mind has the ability to think, rationalize, memorize, interpret, imagine, understand etc.
Mind has varying degrees of intelligence and capability to develop further
The human Will has the ability to decide and determine, whether to do or not to do
Will is closely related to ones Ego, Bias, Preconceptions, Determinations, Decisions, Values, Philosophy etc.
The Spirit and Soul cannot be separated even when a person dies, but they have their own identity and purpose
The Spirit is the Quality, attribute, characteristics, nature and ingredient of God, which has been imparted into human beings
Spiritual attributes of man include love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (these qualities are referred to as the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23)
