Body and Soul

 Body and Soul

According to how we know and understand God’s word, we establish what is right from what is wrong. How well we believe in God’s word is also how our conscience is established. Just as someone who understands and believes in God’s word feels guilty when committing or saying something offensive, those without a strong conscience feel no remorse. This may explain why those who have established an intimate relationship with God strive always to do the right thing when making choices.

Within the human body, however, it is the soul and the spirit that are as one. In realizing this, what we can take from it is that we too, similarly in our small way to Jesus Christ, are composed of a few beings or factors that we are composed of; Our Mother and Father’s teachings and example, our spirit (soul) and how we live and make choices using our free will, and that makes us our unique selves.

God the Father sent His Son to come into the world as we did, through the birth of our mother, and Jesus also took on our features. God, it seems also replicated a three-dimension within us and gave each free will. It is how we make choices and use our free will in our lives that creates not only who we are, but where we are going in the hereafter of eternity.

Often, we may not keep in mind how Jesus came to earth to save us through His teachings and example. He sacrificed His life and suffered a horrendous death on the Cross for our sins. He showed love, mercy, and forgiveness to all who believed in Him and strived to live by His example.

In attempting to live as Christ taught us, millennials, too, must marry. Jesus instituted the sacrament of marriage at the wedding feast of Cana. Do we reflect on the 7 Beatitudes by feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, and showing mercy, love, and forgiveness in our lives? If so, we might say we have a healthy conscience, and we use our free will to serve God. In making God our priority, we understand that we are here, for the lack of a better word, on trial. On Trial and will be judged according to the life we lived. Understanding that life for all of us is terminal, we need to ensure our priorities are in proper order.
