Spirit (πνεύμα) Pneuma According to the Scriptures, we know that in order to be called a Christian, you must be born again by the Spirit of God. We are duly directed to Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John chapter 3 where this premise was established by the Messiah Himself. We were all TRANSFORMED and made new creatures in Christ at the rebirth, but our minds remain ‘untransformed’ until the truth of our identity in Him is revealed, rooted and established through His Word. Soul (ψυχή) Psuché The renewal of the mind is of paramount importance in the life of every believer. The understanding needs to come through that we were not just born again to get to heaven, but for the reality of heaven to become real IN us, FOR us and eventually THROUGH us. The mind with its old programming and paradigms was our reality before we came to Christ. Now we cannot be CONFORMED any longer to the ways of the world, but TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our minds and then CONFORMED into the image of Christ. Body (σώμα) So`ma The wellness of the body is our responsibility as our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Taking good care of your body is an essential part of your walk (run) with the Lord. Regular exercise as well as good eating and sleeping habits – and of course good nutrition forms part and parcel of your holistic daily body care, which is your reasonable service unto the Lord. We need to live in divine balance between the spirit, which is renewed by the Holy Spirit, the mind which is renewed by the help of the Holy Spirit through the Word, and the body which is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
