THE WHOLE PERSON
ALL OF YOU
(1) 1 Thes. 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(a) God wants to minister to all of you, spirit, soul, and body
(2) Isaiah 53:1
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
(a) The report says in Isaiah 53:5
(3) Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
(1a) This report says that Jesus paid for our transgressions, our iniquities; sin as we know it
(1b) Here Jesus minister to our spirit
(2a) This report says that Jesus paid for our peace
(2b) Here Jesus minister to our soul
(3a) This report says that Jesus paid for our healing
(3b) Here Jesus minister to our body
(4) So we see that man is made up of three parts body, soul and spirit
(5) While the tri-unity of God refers to three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead, each having His own personal spirit-body, soul, and spirit, the tri-unity of man refers to the three separate and distinct parts of one person his body, soul, and spirit
(a) The body of man is earthly, fleshly, and material. It is the house in which the soul and spirit dwell. At death the inner man - the spiritual part, made up of the soul and spirit
leaves the body to continue in a state of full consciousness either in heaven or hell (Jas. 2:26), at which time the body
goes back to dust again. In the resurrection, the body will be made immortal (1 Cor. 15:35-54; Phil. 3:21).
(b) The soul of man is the part which feels: the seat of the emotions, passions, appetites. and desires. It may be considered the battle-ground of the flesh and spirit (Rom. 8:1-13; Gal. 5:16-26)
(c) The spirit of man is the part which knows: the seat of the intellect, will, and mind - all mental faculties (1 Cor. 2:11). The spirit and soul are to be understood as separate and distinct parts of the inner man
(6) As we get into this study I want us to see what Jesus paid for, and what we must do to have it
