The Bible, as originally inspired, contains no contradictions or errors and gives us assurance and peace as we hide it in our hearts. By checking the many clear passages on a subject, a genuine searcher can gain an accurate understanding and the peace and fulfillment that comes with finding genuine answers of truth. A key point, consistent throughout the Bible is that man's body was "formed", his soul was "made", and his spirit was "created". This is one of the many answers to life's questions we can verify and build in our understanding as we read God’s Word. In our desire to read clear Bible passages, we look to Isaiah and Thessalonians:
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Isaiah 43:7
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I Thessalonians 5:23
In these verses, God refers to us as three-part beings of “body”, “soul”, and “spirit” who were “formed”, “made”, and “created”. With this knowledge and understanding, many details of the Bible become clear and fit perfectly for us as we read.
This increased understanding and enlightenment on the topic of Body, Soul, and Spirit gives us insight into Biblical questions we may have previously been unable to answer. We also rejoice in the perfection and consistency of God’s Word.
