[FONT=CIMIKO+TimesNewRoman]What makes man unique in Gods creation is not that he possesses a soul but that he has a spirit which, joined to the soul, constitutes the man. Such union marks out man as extraordinary in the universe. Mans soul is not related directly to God; according to the Bible, it is his spirit that relates itself to God. God is Spirit; all who worship Him, therefore, must worship in spirit. It alone can commune with God. Only spirit can worship Spirit. We thus find in the Bible such statements as: serving with my spirit. (Rom. 1.9, 7.6, 12.11) ; knowing through the spirit (1 Cor. 2.9-12); worshiping in spirit (John 4.23-24; Phil. 3.3); receiving in spirit the revelation of God (Rev. 1.10;1 Cor. 2.10). [/FONT]
