Of Earth and Of Heaven

5/10/2024

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

I have been thinking of this scripture a lot recently. Are we the soul (like the part that has the potential of being redeemed and that God loved and wanted to save) and the spirit is either the evil or Holy Spirit we allow to control our thoughts and actions? So the word of God dividing between the two can show us what is our personality and uniqueness of our soul that is what God loves vs what is just not Jesus’ Spirit reigning in an area?

Our soul is what makes us unique from every other person ever born. It includes our mind, our personality, and so much more. To “save our soul” is to deliver our soul from the laws of sin and death. Our spirit is the part that was made to commune with God, that began when God breathed “life” into Adam. We were born of earth and of heaven. By Design. There’s nothing wrong with our souls innately, but they can be trained either by neglect or by consciously yielding to the spirit of God—to become Spirit-men—like the second Adam, Yesu, Yeshua, Jesus.
