Relationship
1 Thessalonians 5:23
23 Now may the God of peace Himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Relationship
Our body is related ... to our conscience and soul.
Primarily our relationship with Christ is in the spirit.
We can’t leave the others out ... as we live for Jesus
Although we’re strangely ... divided in this marriage.
If the body is dead in sin ... that does not mean it is buried.
If my soul is wayward ... does not mean it is gone.
If my spirit is alive ... it will just show the difference
For it takes all three you know ... for the job to get done.
Never forget my friend ... our fleshy frame so-called
An earthen vessel of clay... still contains God’s presence.
Submissive to His being there ... will help to tame the tongue
And keeps us from falling more as He forms us into Christ’s essence.
