SOUL VS
SPIRIT

9. Matthew 10:28: "And do not fear those who
kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather
fear him who can destroy both soul and
body in hell."
What Is a Soul as Defined by the
Bible?
No man can kill our soul. Although they can kill our
bodies, they cannot do anything personally to affect our
souls.

10. Ezekiel 18:4: "Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the
father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who
sins shall die."
What Is a Soul as Defined by the
Bible?
Souls belong to the Lord. He created them when he created
us. This verse also mentions that any soul that sins will
experience death. Considering every human, except Jesus,
had sinned, everyone has earned eternal death. Thankfully,
God has offered a way of salvation for those whose souls
are doomed to die.

11. The soul is basically our mind, our emotions, and
our will. It is who we are as human beings. But it is
also used to express God. As written in Luke 1:46-
47, Mary’s Song, “And Mary said: My soul glorifies
the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”

12. Let us go back to Luke 1:46-47. Mary rejoices about
God’s love shown through His only begotten son
through her spirit. This means that she enjoyed and
experienced God through her spirit. The expression
of God’s love is through our spirit.
What is the Spirit According to the
Bible?

13. It is a blessing that we have three parts, the body,
the soul, and the spirit. All of these parts have
specific functions. The body is our physical
functions and here we feel our physical senses
such as the sense of sight, taste, smell, hear, and
touch. The soul on the other hand is our humanity
that makes us feel emotions. It is our way to
What Is the Difference between
Soul, Body and Spirit?

14. Finally, the spirit is our spiritual and deeper
connection with the Lord. We express our love to
God and Jesus Christ through our spirit because
this is one of the gifts that Christ gave us when he
became human and died for our sins. And thus, we
can only use the spirit if we believe in God and
Christ and if we do the ways of the spirit.
