[Genesis 2:7 KJV] “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breoath of life; and man became a living soul”.
The Bible tells us that God formed man out of the dust of the earth, He breathed into the dust, and man became a living soul. Man is tripartite, just like God, in whose image we were created; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. So I am a living soul, I have a spirit, and live in a body; a body taken out of dust.
The Bible tells us that when a man dies, when “the cistern be broken and the silver cord is broken; the spirit goes to He who gave it and the dust returns to the earth from where it was taken;” the only thing a man truly possess is his soul.
[Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 KJV] “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. [7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it”.
So, man is a living soul, has a spirit, and lives in a body. We are created in the image and the likeness of God. We are created to function as God does, in the midst of His creation. We must be careful how we carry ourselves in this life, because soon and very soon all of us will go to our eternal homes.
The Bible tells us that it profits no man even if he will gain the whole world and lose his own soul. Your soul is who you are, you must therefore make decisions that guarantees your soul a peaceful eternal home.
[Mark 8:36 KJV] “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
I pray that you shall understand your very nature, and work for the salvation of your soul. Your real profit is your soul. To save your soul and prepare it for eternal peace with God is your foremost responsibility.
When all is said and done, you will face eternity either alone or with Christ. God will not force either heaven or hell on you; he will honour your choice. You have a choice to make, but remember that God will respect your choice, so choose wisely.
May the Lord help us to make intelligent choices! We are free agents. Our many choices determine the outcome of our lives. The Bible says that “we all, as sheep, have gone astray, but now we can return to the bishop and Shepherd of our souls”. We have a Shepherd now that way he’s over our souls. Let us return! He is waiting.
[1 Peter 2:25 KJV] “For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls”.
This is the day and moment to return to the bishop of our souls. May the Lord Shepherd and watch over your souls. You are a soul, have a spirit and live in a body. Stay blessed, be blessed.
I love you;
Noah Simpe Bediako
