The Holy Spirit is Light, Spirit, and Life of Man.

We all know that God created man and woman as three parts in one, that is we are body, soul, and spirit. Here we study about our Spirit. Our spirit is also referred to as light and it is our life. "Genesis 1:26, God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Here, the Spirit is created in the likeness of the Omnipotent Spirit, which is the body of God. The Spirit of God is omnipotent, but our spirit will be a miniature version of his Spirit, without the Omni-powers. "1 John 1:5 says, ... God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." So, God is not only Spirit, and he is also light. So, God has created the Spirit of man also as light, and as spirit as well, to be like him. However both are lights.

In Genesis, there are two accounts of God creating light. "Genesis 1:3 God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Verse 5 says, it was the first day." Then verses 14 to 19 tells about the creation of the fourth day, which was also light. Verse 16 says, "God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." So, on the fourth day God made sun, moon, and stars. It is the light that we see. It is illumination or brightness. But what was the light that he created on the first day? John 1:4. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." It was the light of men that has life, and it was the spirit of men also; so, the spirit and the light are synonyms. God made the complete light of men in one day; and Jesus Christ made himself as the custodian. Jesus Christ will give the light to whomsoever he wills. So, 'the spirit of men' is 'the light of men'; it is in the likeness of God, but it is in miniature form; and is kept with Jesus Christ. Another important factor in this light is this. "Genesis 1:4 God divided the light from the darkness." That is, God did not allow this light to merge with darkness. So, this light is Spirit, but not the illumination. Illumination light always diffuses or merge with darkness. But this light is the holy Spirit, and it will not merge with evil spirits.

2. Creation of complete Man; Soul, Body, and Spirit.

"Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." This is a misunderstood verse in the creation of man. We are taught that a man was made in clay, and God breathed into the nostrils of the clay, and the clay became a man. But it was not so. A flesh living man was given the breath of life. God breathed into his nostrils, and his soul, which had no life, became a living soul, and he became a spirit of man. It is as in "Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins: ... 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) " So, this spirit made the man as a living soul. So, how was man created? His spirit was created on the first day; his soul was created on the sixth day; and his body was created after the sabbath day rest. The real person is the soul; God gave him the flesh body first; and then God breathed the spirit into him, and made a complete man with soul, flesh, and spirit. It is how God has created man. But how are we now? We are all born without the Spirit after Adam and Eve have sinned. We are souls; our bodies are given to us in our mother's womb; and we are born without Spirit. God told us to be born again of the Spirit, to become complete, as a living soul. Our soul is made the same as the soul of God; our spirit is in the likeness of the spirit of God, but in miniature form, and our body is created from the dust of the earth. This is the complete man or woman.

3. Receive the Spirit, it is Light, it is Life to the Soul.

John 1:4. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." This light was in Jesus Christ; it is the light of men; it gives life to the soul of men; it will make us a living soul; and it is by the holy spirit. Verse 9 says, "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." So, Jesus Christ is the store house of this light, and he gives this light to every person, who will come to him. The resurrected Jesus Christ is God in the omnipotent Spirit, but not a pathetic man hanging on a wooded cross. John 8:12 says, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Jesus Christ tells us to repent and ask for the Spirit. If God gives us the light, we can walk in the light.

Christians are taught that Jesus Christ loves us, he is doing so much good to us, he begs us to give him a chance, and so on. All these are decorative lies from the devil. But our favorite preachers preach such messages because the devil got him; and he will deceive you also through him. But Jesus Christ says that if we follow him, we will have the light of life. We must not assume and take it for granted that we are born again. If we have received the spirit, we will desire to be righteous, and this will be proof. If we assume without proof, we will be deceiving ourselves.

When we die, our bodies go back to dust according to Genesis 3:19 & 1 Corinthians 15:50. "Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." The soul will rest in Paradise, as in Luke 16:22&23, and 23:43. In the second coming, the spirit will be glorified and come with Jesus Christ, it will join with the soul from Paradise. They will inherit heaven as glorified Sons of God or as bride of Christ. They will be like Jesus Christ in glory. If a man is not born again, he will not have the spirit. When he dies, his body goes to dust; his soul will be naked as in 2 Corinthians 5:3. Then he will be kept in hell and then he will be cast in the lake of fire as in Revelation 20:14.
