The Human Soul

The Bible teaches that when God created man, He created him spirit, soul and body.
God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life. Thus, the man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
The Bible teaches that man is utterly depraved in his natural self and is beyond saving himself. In fact, all people are born spiritually dead. A dead person can do nothing to change his conditional. Just like us. We can do nothing to change our spiritual condition. A state of complete hopelessness. This is because the first people ever to be created (Adam and Eve) sinned and fell out of God's good graces. Because Adam sinned, the whole human race also sinned and therefore are worthy of death. (Read more.)

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned— Romans 5:12

The Bible teaches that the human soul is lost- without Christ. But when a person believes in Christ, they receive a new spirit. The Spirit of adoption. God adopts us as sons (and daughters). Put it this way: you receive a clean slate. A new record. The old one is wiped away. ALL the wrongs you've ever done. every mistake you've made. ALL GONE! Erased.

Hope for the soul
But there is Good News and hope for the soul. God sent His Son into the world to die for sin and pay the penalty we justly deserve. He died an excruciating death on the cross so that you could live. If you put your faith in Him, He will justify you and make you new again. The Bible says that "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
Look at it another way. Say for example...You owe a debt. You fully know that you are not able to pay this debt. It's not just beyond your means. You are completely bankrupt. But wait a minute... there is another option. Another person who is willing to pay the debt that you owe with His life. He is amazingly rich and He offers to pay the lump sum of what you owe. Wouldn't you be indebted to that Person?

The Gospel message offers salvation to all who will come to Jesus in faith. One of these days, you will eventually die and you will face God. If you have trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, you will have all your sins forgiven and receive a new start. And future home will be Heaven for all eternity. But if you have neglected to receive Jesus Christ into your heart and chosen not to believe in the Son of God, your destiny- sadly- will be hell. A place of unthinkable torment. God loves you very much. More than you could ever imagine and He wants with all His heart to have a relationship with you. This can only be possible is you believe in Jesus Christ. If you believe that He died to rescue you from your sin. I know what you're thinking.. maybe she's exaggerating a bit. But no, I'm not. God created us for communion.

Jesus Christ: The Only Way
In this world of pluralism, which we live in, everybody is saying "I don't think there is just one way to get to Heaven?" or "I don't think there is just one way to have a relationship with God." This couldn't be farther from the truth. The Bible teaches that there is but ONE WAY to get to the Father and that is through Jesus Christ. Jesus said 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' John 14:6. Notice that He said "I am the way. Not a way. My friend, if you are thinking of keeping your options open, you will find yourself sadly disappointed at the end and to your peril. And living a "good life" is not enough. God offers us His righteousness in Christ. His clean record. The price is paid but will you accept the extraordinary gift. 

Do you want to know who God is?
If you need to know who God is I will tell you. He is the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three distinct Persons of the Godhead. This may seem like a foreign concept to you, but He is God. The minute I can completely understand Him, He cease to God. He is beyond comprehension. I am finite. He is infinite. I am weak (without Him). He is strong. He is the everlasting God. His ways never change. He is not plural. He is One. Deuteronomy 6:4 But it is first and foremost important to recognize that He loves you and in love He reaches out to you through His Son. 

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Sin is transgression of God's law. Wrongdoing. An offense against God's righteous and holy law and nature.
