Redeeming Your Soul by oluminnic: 9:33pm On Apr 29, 2016 |
To redeem means to compensate for the fault or the bad aspect of something. Synonyms are save, rescue, justify, vindicate. James 1:21 wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your soul What is soul? Soul is the spiritual nature/name given to we humans We are spiritual being and we are called souls. This is just as Gabriel and Michael are spiritual being called angels. Angels are created as messengers, Daniel 8:15-16 We are created to declare God to all being (1 Peter 1:10-12, Eph 3:10-11; 6:12). We occupy an important position in the plan of God. Soul is one of the components of man being a tripartite being. The soul is the most important part of you, the soul makes you a being. The spirit of man is same and that is why we are sons of Adam (just as Christs and Gods Spirit is one), human body is a continuum that keeps degrading (generally becoming more and more susceptible to diseases etc) what really makes you you and distinguishes you from another person is your soul. Man is a spirit that has a soul residing in a body. When God created man, He created spirit, He formed a body for it from the ground (body) and He gave the spirit his identity (soul). Man is a being with authority both in heaven and on earth but when man died in the garden, he lost his spiritual and earthly authority, he became disarmed as a spiritual being, he became a prey. Angels are many but each has different roles and so they have their different groups and names. Same with souls; there are different roles. In the bible, we have names that are for mentioned to achieve certain things, we have seen men that suddenly became inspired and they strived to get somethings achieved, We saw Jesus that said it is finished, Paul said I have completed my course. What I am trying to say is this, when you got born-again, you were born with a name and a role (an identity) (Jesus gave Peter new name etc); dont be too surprised there is something written about you just as Jesus life was pre recorded. Each role is with a crown, it is like a post. Many contend for the same post but only one can occupy it. Paul said I strive... Contending for your heavenly post is redeeming your soul and this can only be achieved by the power of the word Adapted from www.christianlifeissues.com |
