God does not have a Body / Soul. Man does. The relationship can ONLY be SPIRITUAL. God creates Man in His SPIRITUAL image and likeness. God's SPIRIT calls/draws Man's SPIRIT to SPIRITUALLY accept or reject Him. God changes Man's SPIRIT...born again from above....salvation. Then God the Holy SPIRIT indwells Man and comforts / guides him unto SPIRITUAL "good works"...sanctification.
All the SPIRITS are immortal and will be JUDGED. Believer's SPIRITUAL POSITION in Christ is NOT JUDGED...only their "works"...in or out of the will of God...rewards or loss. Unbeliever's SPIRITUAL POSITIONs out of Christ are JUDGED...AND...their unforgiven sins!
No SPIRIT nor SPIRIT BEING is "destroyed"...annhilated... removed from eternal existence.
BUT...Body / Soul combos ARE mortal and into "death"...beyond which believers have "eternal SPIRITUAL life" in the presence of God. Unbelievers have eternal SPIRITUAL separation from God.
Eternal SPIRITUAL Life
John 17 (NASB...JESUS: The High Priestly Prayer...BELIEF in the TRI-UNE God ONLY!
1 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said,
“Father, the hour has come;
glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, 2
even as You (Father) gave Him (Jesus) authority over all flesh, that to all (believers) whom You (Father) have given Him (Jesus),
He (Jesus) MAY GIVE ETERNAL LIFE.
3 This IS ETERNAL LIFE that they may KNOW (believe in) You, the only true God, and (believe in) Jesus (the) Christ whom You (Father) have sent.
20 “I do (Jesus) not ask on behalf of these (disciples present) alone, but for those also who BELIEVE in Me through their word (teaching gospel);
21 that they may all be one;
even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You,
that they also may be in Us,
so that the world may BELIEVE that You sent Me.
1 John 5 (NASB)...John: This Is Written That You May Know that Jesus is ETERNAL LIFE
20 And we know that the Son of God has come,
and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true,
in His Son Jesus (the) Christ.
This is the TRUE GOD and ETERNAL LIFE.
2 Timothy 3 (NASB)...salvation though FAITH
15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to SALVATION THROUGH FAITH which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is inspired (BREATH UPON) by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17 so that the man of God (BELIEVER) may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
The believer should KNOW that he is spritually and eternally secure because of Jesus the Christ's promises and explanation of "ETERNAL LIFE" of Man's spirit.
JESUS the God-Man's "WORDS" on : "ETERNAL LIFE"
John 3:13-18 (NASB)...the ONLY requirement for salvation from "eternal death": spirit-led BELIEF / FAITH...SEE ALSO: Ephesians 2
13 No one has ascended into heaven,
but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man. (Divine Messiah)
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; (substitutional sacrifice on the Cross)
15 so that whoever BELIEVES WILL in Him have "eternal (spiritual) life".
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, (TRUE new MAN)
that whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish, but have "eternal (spiritual) life".(NOW!)
17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be SAVED THROUGH Him. ((NOW!)
18 He who BELIEVES in Him is not judged;
he who does not believe has been judged already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me,
HAS "eternal (spiritual) life", and does not come into judgment, but HAS PASSED out of death into life.
John 4:14 ...WATER = belief in Jesus as Messiah...Samaritan woman at the well
but whoever drinks of the water that I WILL give him shall never thirst; but the water that I WILL give him
WILL become in him a well of water springing up to "eternal (spiritual) life".”
John 6:47,54, 35-36, 40...The Last Supper metaphor ...Truly, truly, I say to you, he who BELIEVES HAS "eternal life"....
He who eats My flesh (bread) and drinks My blood (wine) has "eternal life",
and I will raise him up on the last day.
35 Jesus said to them,
“I am the bread of life;
he who COMES to Me WILL not hunger,
and he who BELIEVES in Me WILL never thirst.
36 But I said to you that you have SEEN Me, and yet do not BELIEVE.
40 For this is the will of My Father,
that everyone who beholds the Son and BELIEVES in Him WILL have "eternal (spiritual)life",
and I Myself will raise him up "on the last day".”
John 10:28 ...and I GIVE "eternal (spiritual) life" to them (sheep=believers),
and they will never perish (BE SPIRITUALLY SEPARATED); and no one WILL snatch them out of My hand.
