The Soul

The soul

Is there life after life? Does a part of ourselves survive beyond death? Does the human soul or new self exist ? In Holy Scriptures, there are a few passages about it.

In the beginning God was; He is Source of life for All. God is Spirit , immortal and eternal. Creator of the visible world ( bodies ) and the invisible world ( spiritual ). He created man to his image.

He created the physical body ( visible ) and the spiritual body ( invisible ). That invisible part of ourselves , created by God , is for a spiritual and immortal existence. He made of it a temple for Him , THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD.

In Genesis 2: 7 , it is written that the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

That breath of life , that principle of life , so , made of that man a living being . That breath of life actuates , moves his body . After a clinical death , a road accident and serious injury , or serious disease , at the paroxysm of the crisis and distress , a few persons would have experienced the decorporation of their earhtly frame . Their spiritual body had special characteristics and particular properties . During their sojourn outside of their body , they also would have encountered a Being of Light , the encounter of a very brilliant light . Such an experience gives a glimpse of unusual perspective or dimension of human life , a different outlook .

Soul : ( Larousse fr. dict. ), “ principle of life and thought of man actuating and moving his body ; this principle created as a spiritual being separable from the physical body , immortal and destined to be judged . ”

So,perhaps, that could happen when that breath of life , that principle of life , that spiritual body , that " human soul " detachs from its earthly frame, after a clinical death , a road accident and serious injury or a serious disease , at the paroxysm of the crisis and distress , that body would return to the state that was his at the very beginning when he was created and had no life , being lifeless (dead), a being made of dust and returning to dust.

Jesus said: “ I am the Resurrection and Life. ”“ He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Jesus of Nazareth lived among us in that time. He now enjoys a spiritual,immortal and eternal life close to the Father.

God the Father showed to mankind through His Son the immortal life. It's for the deliverance,the salvation of human souls He made the ultimate and great sacrifice. Enduring and lasting happiness,living hope, the joy of a new and immortal life are for the soul, not for our perishable and corruptible body.

It is written about the resurrection of body, state and new condition of the soul.

The breath of life

If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath, all mankind would perish together and man would return to the dust.

Book of Job 34: 14,15

New in the attitude
of your mind

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires ; to be made new in the attitude of your mind ; and to put on the new self , created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Book of the Ephesians 4: 22-24

About the soul

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Book of Matthew 16: 26

Invisible

Flesh and Blood

I declare to you, brothers , that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Book of 1 Corinthians 15: 50

Power of the Son

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life , even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.

Book of John 5: 21

Resurrection and life

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live , even though he dies ; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this ? ”

Book of John 11: 25,26
