THE SOUL FANTASY
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)

TOPIC: THE SOUL FANTASY
SCRIPTURE: Then the dust [of mortals] goes back to the ground as it was before, and the breath of life goes back to God who gave it | Ecclesiastes 12:7 (GOD'S WORD® Translation)
MEMORY VERSE: John 3:16
DIGGING DEEP: God created man in the most unique way. Before He created man, He made everything available unto man and empowered man with everything needed to be in charge of all creation. But this was not enough; for mans uniqueness to be solidly established God had to breathe into man and this breath made man a living soul. This breath is not oxygen, if not man wouldn't have been anything different from an animal.
"The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul” ( Genesis 2:7 ). This evidently shows that man was never a product of evolution, nor a product of any molecule or particulate matter. Man is simply a product of God.
The breath did three things unto man:
a. It made man into a living soul.
b. It gave an extra-natural or an extra-physical identity and existence unto man.
c. It opened the account of time and eternity for man.
Man has two parts the temporal and eternal part.
The temporal is the body which our text says will return to the earth. The body decomposes and passes away. The eternal is lying in the core of everyones spirit. Just like you normally yearn to go back home after a long day so it is with our spirit it yearn for its true home.
I am sure there are times you just begin to imagine how does life after death looks like, where are all those that are died. You try to picture the extra-natural existence and all that sorrounds it. This is what is called the fantasy of the soul.
But i need you to understand that the life after here is real, it is true. God did not just send you to the world to merely exist, but to live His life. That was the reason for His breath in you. The world beyond this earth is not a broken dot, not at all!!! it is a continuum of the life you lived here. Your activity in this body determines your place in eternity.
If you live the life of sin in the body, you will spend eternity in hell; but if you spend your life living for God and in righteousness, you will spend eternity with God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NLT) says that "Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God."
Today has you move around don't live life just existing, don't live for your own self, live it for God who gave you breath. Live it to praise Him. Live it to please Him.
Finally, every mortal will vacate this earth into eternity with God or eternity in hell, but i urge you to live for God.
PRAYER: I refuse to live an anti-God life. My everything will do what pleases God in Jesus' name
