“A                      IS      THREEFOLD CORD OF        “A                      IS

                                              “MAN:
    CORD                 BROKEN”   SPIRIT, SOUL, BODY”       CORD                 BROKEN”

           Ecc. 4:12                                                Ecc. 4:12

Genesis reveals that God created man “spirit, soul
and body.” Therefore, God’s plan of salvation for
fallen man must encompass “spirit, soul, and body.”

This salvation, as depicted below, is a
PROGRESSION in the life of the believer, not a
POSSESSION already finished. Never heard that
before? Then this fifth lesson is especially important
for you to consider! According to the scriptures
salvation began in the spirit, is being worked out
presently in the soul, and will be finalized in the
body at the resurrection from the dead.

                      THE                                OF MAN:

             “THAT WHICH               “WORK OUT        “…WE OURSELVES,
                        IS                   YOUR       EAGERLY WAITING

                     THAT            FOR IT IS GOD            OUR BODY.
