Exercising Our Spirit

According to the Bible, man is a being of three parts: spirit, soul, and body. Many consider the soul and the spirit as being the same, but they are actually distinct from each another. We must discern our soul from our spirit if we are to exercise our spirit.

The functions of the soul and the spirit are also distinct. With our soul, we substantiate the things in the psychological/mental realm, such as thoughts and feelings. With our spirit, we substantiate the things in the spiritual realm, especially God Himself.
