When Yahweh formed man, He made a creature unlike any other: dust filled with His breath, a living being who can know his Maker. The Scriptures describe this person in parts, and in one prayer Sha'ul names all three: 'I pray Elohim your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless.' This study looks at the body that touches the earth, the soul that makes you who you are, and the spirit that reaches toward Yahweh. Understanding how you are made helps you see where the battle is fought and why He desires to set apart not just your behavior, but your whole person, body, soul, and spirit.
