Our soul is alive! That is the case for some of us. The word ‘soul’ as used in the Bible is identified in three different aspects: people, animals, and life. 1 Peter 3:20 says and I will paraphrase: In the days of Noah eight souls were saved by water. “Soul” in this passage is represented by people.
The focus of the word ‘soul’ in the book of Genesis 1: 20, 24 refers to God’s words that says: Let the earth bring forth living creatures. The birds, creeping animals, domestic animals, etc. are footnoted as souls.
And then there is the life of a person. The soul of a person. The Bible says in Ezekiel 18:4, 20 as I paraphrase: The soul is mortal, it’s alive. And someone who is dead, is simply a dead soul. Beloved this simply means that the soul within you is either dead, half dead or alive!
The spirit, on the other hand, gives life to the soul. Good spirit, benevolent soul. Healthy spirit, prosperous soul. And it is our purpose to match the two together and inspire the soul for greatness and purpose.
Be blessed on purpose!
