In the book of Genesis 2:7 tells us how man was created, "Then the LORD formed the man from the dust of the ground, He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils and the man became a living person". God's breath of life is what gave us our human spirit. The spirit coming into contact with the man's body created our soul, the spirit and soul is what gave life to man. It is through the soul that man is able to be aware of his environment and is able to express himself. Man is made up of spirit, soul and body, in the bible, God would often refer to man as "soul" like in the book of Ezekiel 18:4 " Behold all souls are mine, the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine" Why does God refer to man as soul? Our soul consist of our free will, emotion, intellect and reasoning faculty. Our soul is the part of us that helps us to make sense of our environment. The behaviour of individuals depends on the state of their soul. Our soul represents who we are, we use the soul to express our personality.
