When God created Adam He breathed “the breath of life” into him. (Genesis 2:7) It is this life from God that is identified with the eternal human spirit. It is the soul of Man that is the vehicle through which the mind’s will operates. If a repentant person’s soul wills to obey God, it will allow the human spirit to direct the mind and will of Man as counseled by the indwelling Holy Spirit. As the spirit acts upon the soul of Man, the soul in turn expresses itself through the human brain and body.
