STOP BELIEVING LIES

Stay in the Word

We are 3-part beings - Body, Soul & Spirit

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (NKJV)

Bodies - relate to God in creation

Spirits - from God and are created to relate to Him. 

Soul – the eternal part of us. Our thoughts, our will, and our emotions.
