THE BIBLE MEANING OF "SOUL" |
|||
|
|||
In Conclusion, let us urge two points of action: FIRST, make a thorough, scriptural examination of the word "soul." The word occurs 850 times. Make the effort to trace them through. Compare them with the general, hazy ideas on the subject. It takes time, but there is no other way. God requires us to work and search. And SECOND, having determined the facts of what we are--perishing creatures of dust-- investigate God's great offer of what we may become: "...There is a natural (soul) body, and there is a spiritual body." [1 Cor. 15:44].
These glorious words of the Apostle Paul will be fulfilled someday in the great joyful host of the redeemed, as they stand assembled before the judge of all the earth [Rev. 5:9-14; 14:1-5; Gen 18:25; Acts 10:42; 17:31; Rom. 2:16; 14:10; 1 Cor. 4:5; 2 Cor. 5:10; 2 Tim. 4:1, 8; 1st Pet. 4:5]. For all others it will be: "As the beasts that perish." [Psa. 49:12, 20].
Let US choose the path of wisdom and life.
