We are made up of body, soul, and spirit. We are spiritual beings placed in a physical body. In our previous message, The Great Exchange Pt. 2: The Body, we answered the question, ‘What is the body?’ Yet, we still have our two main questions to answer:
1. What died the day Adam & Eve ate the fruit?
2. Are we able to get it back?
Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he preaches part three, The Soul and Spirit, of his eye-opening message series, The Great Exchange.

Soul and Spirit Verses

James 5:19-20

The Spirit
40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And He said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, for the second time, He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”
Matthew 26:40-42
24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4:24
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.
Romans 1:9-10
15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.
Romans 8:15-17
Spirit vs. Soul
18 Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon Him, and He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
Matthew 12:18
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;”
Luke 1:46-48
The soul and the spirit are two different parts that makeup who we are. We are spiritual beings with a soul, a spirit, and a body. Our soul is who we are; it is what is judged on Judgment Day. Our spirit is our connection to the spiritual realm around us. This is where we get our spiritual gifts, how we communicate with God and other spiritual beings, etc. Then we have the body, which holds both our spirit and our soul. This is what is perishable which is why we are given a new imperishable body when Jesus comes back.
