“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 the Lord Jesus Christ.” ( 1Thessalonians 5:23)
An excerpt from ICR’s, “Days of Praise” by John D. Morris PHD:
The three fold nature of mankind reflects, to a degree, the triune nature of the Godhead. Just as each member of the triune God is complete and wholly god, yet distinct, so each aspect of mankind is also the whole, yet distinct. The body of man comprises the entire man, yet he also possesses certain soulish emotions, desires and propensities; and finally, the total man is endowed with a spiritual, eternal nature, somehow reflecting the image of God.
Yours in Christ,
Carl
