1 Thessalonians 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Man is a tri-partite being – spirit, soul and body. It is with his spirit that a man worships, and may contact God. The soul includes the conscious and subconscious minds, the realm of emotions and the will. Soul gives a man personality, self-awareness, rationality and natural feeling.” ~Michael

Most people think when they get saved everything changes (spirit, soul, and body). They think because they’re saved they won’t crave the same sins or have the same lustful desires in their heart. The truth is, when we get born again, the only thing that instantly changes and gets saved is our spirit. Everything else (soul & body) will take effort on our part to change. Change, is a process. What helps this process is renewing our mind to the word of God daily (Romans 12:2). We need to align our thoughts with the word of God. Whatever God says is right or wrong, we say it’s right or wrong. As our soul changes, the body will follow suit.

Anytime we sin, we shouldn’t get frustrated with ourselves. We should make the necessary adjustments to better our ourselves and our situation. Never give up or quit! Continue to grow and develop into that great man or woman God called us to be.
