Segment Three: Part One<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spirit of Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soul refers to the immaterial part of man\u2019s inner being so also does spirit. Soul relates to the inner consciousness of man and \u201cspirit\u201d is the inner sensitivity of what is spiritual and what is not. The spirit of man can take on several characteristics such as one\u2019s moral compass, one\u2019s drive to do or acquire right understanding. However, the use of \u201cspirit\u201d within scripture can be varied depending upon its context.<\/p>\n

In Job we see it used to mean the breath of man. (Job 27:3) In Exodus and Deuteronomy we see it used to denote intelligence and skill. (Ex. 28:3; De. 34:9) There are even examples that spirit is used to refer to emotions. (Ex. 6:9; 1 Sa. 1:15). A negative use of spirit is when it refers to demons or evil spirits. (Job 4:15; Mt. 12:43; Mk. 1:23; 5:2; Ac. 16:18; 1 Ti. 4:1) \u201cSpirit\u201d can sometimes be used to refer to angels. (He. 1:7,14) In some verses, \u201cspirit\u201d can be another way to say Holy Spirit. (Mt. 3:16; Ac. 2:4; 5:9; Ro. 8:9)<\/p>\n

\u201cSpirit\u201d as it refers to the inner or immaterial part of man can take on some sensory aspects. The \u201cspirit\u201d can faint (Ge. 45:26), can be willing (Ex. 35:21), can be hardened (De. 2:30),\u00a0 be sad (1 Ki. 21:5), be troubled (Jn. 13:21), can be refreshed (1 Co. 16:18) and rejoice (Lk. 10:21). We read in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 that the spirit passes into eternity at death, and like the soul is eternal. As we see in the James passage that death is separation of the spirit from the body . (James 2:26)<\/p>\n

Scripture also tells us that the natural man does not have the spirit from God within him. (1 Co. 2: 11)\u00a0 \u2026there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives him understanding. (Job 32:8) And the Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4: 23 tells us that we can be renewed in our mind. Paul further tells us: \u201cBut ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.\u201d (Romans 8:9)<\/p>\n
