The soul is one with the being. A person cannot be removed from his own breath.<\/p>\n

Scripturally, the soul is defined as the whole human being. Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust<\/strong> of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life<\/strong>; and man became <\/strong>a living soul<\/strong>.” Man did not receive a soul; he became a soul. Therefore, when the body dies and the breath departs, the soul ceases to exist<\/strong>. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die<\/strong>…” Ezekiel 18:20. Is there, then, no hope for us beyond death?<\/p>\n

The Bible gives us great hope! When we die, the memory of our soul resides with God. John 5:28, “…the hour is coming when all that are in their graves <\/em><\/strong>shall hear His voice and come forth…”  “Graves” is the Greek word “mn\u0113meîon”. This word, “mnemeion”, <\/strong>refers to recalling the memory of any person<\/strong>. (See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon.) So, all the total life information (including body, mind, and feelings) of those who have died are stored – awaiting the resurrection. This includes every detail about us. What does God do with this memory? He resurrects us! John 5:28,29, “…the hour is coming when all <\/strong>that are in their graves shall hear His voice and come forth<\/strong>…”<\/p>\n

Jesus was the first one to be resurrected. “But now Christ has been raised from the dead<\/strong>, the first fruits <\/strong>of those who are asleep.” 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NASB) At our Lord’s second advent, Christians will also be resurrected. Romans 6:5, “For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Afterwards, the entire world<\/strong> will gradually be resurrected and restored to perfection as human beings<\/strong> (See 1 Timothy 2:4-6, 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, Isaiah 35, Jeremiah 31:34). During Christ’s reign, all that man lost in the fall will be restored. The resurrected soul will have health, perfection, and loving human relationships. God will once again establish a personal Father-child relationship with each individual person during the wonderful “times of restitution of all<\/strong> things”! (Acts 3:19-21) Even the earth, itself, will be healed of pollution and become a paradise home. “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool<\/strong>…and I will make the place of my feet glorious<\/strong>.” Isaiah 66:1; 60:13<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
