12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it
penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the
thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

God did not call man a “man”, but He called him a “soulsoul”. The reason for this is that a man is judged by his soul. The soul is the organ of man’s free willfree will, and both human spirit and human body are incorporated into it. The soul has the free will. It takes as its master the part that it likes.

The human spirit is not the soul and is not the Holy Spirit.
John 4:24 says, 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in
spirit and in truth."
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
Man’s spirit is composed of three parts:
ConscienceConscience – the discernment of right and wrong
IntuitionIntuition – the direct consciousness not dependent on anything else.
FellowshipFellowship – our worship to God

THE SOUL OF MANTHE SOUL OF MAN
SOLUS CHRISTUS www.salvation123.com
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
The soul soul is where man’s consciousness lies. Man is conscious of his own
existence because of the activity of the soul. Everything included in man’s personality is a part of the soul.
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
Three main elements in a man’s personality:
WillWill – deliberating organ where the power of judgment lies.
MindMind – thinking organ where intellect, knowledge and mental capacity resides.
EmotionEmotion – organ of love, hatred, and sentiments.
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
Without the willwill, man would be a machine.
Without the mindmind, man would become totally foolish.
Without the emotionemotion, man would be senseless like wood or stone.

THE FALL OF MANTHE FALL OF MAN
SOLUS CHRISTUS www.salvation123.com
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
The man God created is very different from the other things that God created. When God created man, He gave man an absolute free will.
Both obedience and disobedience are at his discretion, and he can choose either at will.
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
The temptation of Satan comes first to the bodybody, then to the soulsoul, and last to the spiritspirit.
… “lust of the flesh”… then “lust of the eyes”… and “ the vainglory of life.”
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
The tree of knowledge led to man’s fall, but God used the foolish treefoolish tree to save man.
24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. 1Peter 2:24
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
All the devil’s works go from the outside to the inside, while all the works of God’s SpiritGod’s Spirit go from the inside to the outside.

All of man’s spirit, soul and body have been permeated by death. Death is present at every part of man. Therefore, man has no alternative but to receive God’s life.
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
“ there is no condemnation to those
who are in Christ Jesus” Romans 8:1
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Since we have now been justified by his justified by his bloodblood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Romans 5: 8-10

REGENERATIONREGENERATION
SOLUS CHRISTUS www.salvation123.com
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
Before man is regenerated, his spiritspirit is far away from God and is dead. The soulsoul controls the whole man so that he lives either in his ideas or in his excitement. The lusts and desires of the bodybody bring the soul into subjection.
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
To be born againborn again is completely a matter in the spirit; it has no relationship with
the soul or the body.
Only spirit can serve Spirit (Rom. 1:9; 7:6; 12:11), only spirit can know Spirit (1 Cor. 2:9-12), only spirit can worship God who is Spirit (John 4:23-24; Phil. 3:3), and only spirit can receive revelation from God who is Spirit (Rev. 1:10; 1 Cor. 2:10)
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
How can man obtain regeneration of the spirit?
5If we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection Romans 6:5

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spiritnew spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

Man's deadened, fallen spirit is made alive by receiving God's life imparted through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is regeneration.
The eternal life in John 3:16 is the life of God which is put into man's spirit by the Holy Spirit. Because this life is God's life, which can never die, all who have been regenerated have this life and are said to "have eternal life."
Solus Christus http://www.salvation123.com
This rebirth is the first stepfirst step in the spiritual lifespiritual life.
If after regeneration, a believer remains for a prolonged period of time in the flesh, God's saving way will notwill not be manifested to be perfected in him.
