Preface

This is a study on the creation of man. Scripture shows us that man is made a spirit, soul, and body. This study looks at the difference between the three parts of man and their function. In this study, the three parts are shown so a person may analyze and understand what motivates him or what part of himself is directing his whole person.

For example if a person were addicted to drugs or alcohol the chemical demand of his body may hold his soul and spirit in servitude. If the person is making his or her decisions based on emotions, the spirit and soul do not have freedom to make sound decisions. Or the person, who makes decisions without much regard as to their conscience, may put their soul and body into jeopardy.

The study and analyzing of the human person (ourselves) can be very helpful to realize our strong points or weaknesses. Recognizing how God’s order for Adam was to live, (seen in the diagram 1) and how far man has fallen from this place is necessary to the person who wants to live according to the way God intends for man to live.

In diagram 2 it is not hard to identify these traits that function within us, and are taken for granted by most people to be natural. These works of the flesh in man are the result of his Adamic nature, and bring spiritual death to him. The man who follows his 5 senses is most readily seen by all. However, the sin in the spirit and soul are the most deadly and deceptive to men who see nothing wrong with themselves and yet are living apart from God. Their religion or good morals they may feel make them acceptable to God.

Diagram 3 shows that it is mandatory for a person to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit to live according to God’s mind and purpose. Only by having the mind of Christ and following the Holy Spirit’s leading can a person come to see the kingdom of God and have power to follow and live in it.

There are questions for more study at the end of the booklet. If the person will write out his or her answers to these questions, then examine their own answers, it will reveal much to that person. It is more revealing to us when we put our answers on paper and analyze them by comparing them to the Word of God.
