These Souls are three persons, and the One Omnipotent Spirit God. The three persons are God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, we may refer to him as God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. This one God was and is a Spirit, and this Spirit is omnipotent and so, nothing is impossible to him, and he has created the heaven and earth by his power. Since we have studied about God a few times, let me give the link from the previous study, if you like to see the details. Link: "The True God."
In the beginning of the bible, even in Genesis first two chapters, we study about the creation of all things, including the creation of man, which is the most amazing thing. It is unique, and man was made as three parts, in three separate days, and assembled together as one being. We have studied this also a few times and so let me refer to a previous study for you to refer to in case you need it. Link is: "Creation of Man."
God has made the soul of man, even before God formed our body. We think that we are our bodies. But actually the souls are us, and we live in our bodies. Genesis 1:26&27 says that God has created our souls as the same as his souls. ["Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ... 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."] Then a few days later, even after the Sabbath day rest, God has created the body of Adam, and then after a few days later God created the body of Eve, and gave their bodies to their souls for them to live in. It is in "Genesis 2:7&22, [7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, ... 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, ..."] It is clear that God has created the souls of Adam and Eve first and then he has created their bodies even in different days. Even now, the soul is created first, then the body is formed, and the soul moves into the body, and becomes a baby at conception. God confirms this in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee;" That is, God creates the soul first and then allows the conception to take place, then the soul enters the body, and it becomes a baby. Ignorant people may call it fetus, or something else, but God considers that as baby with soul at conception. With soul and flesh body we are people, man or woman. God may give one more body to our souls, which is the spirit, then we will be complete being. Since we have studied about the spirit of man just a few days ago, I would rather give the link for the lesson rather than repeating the whole thing again. The link is: "Light, Life, Spirit."
The blood gives life to the body and at the moment the blood stop circulating, the body dies, according to Genesis 9:4&5, Leviticus 17:11&14, and Deuteronomy 12:23. It is like animal bodies, which live with no soul, but with life. These bodies were given to the souls. Since the soul is a person, the man becomes a person. "Genesis 2:7 say, LORD God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; (the breath of life is the spirit of man) and (the living) man became a living soul." But our churches teach that man was clay statue, and God breathed into the nostrils of the clay, and the clay became a living man. But it is total ignorance, and it is not scripture. Now, We are souls; our bodies were given to us in our mother's womb; and we were born. And we must be born again of the Spirit, to become complete persons, as living souls. If not, we will be living flesh, but a dead soul.
We are souls and we have a flesh body to live in. We may identify our souls as our conscience also. We may have good conscience or evil conscience. In our life, we may do evil that are sins. Sometime, even our soul or our conscience may not like what we do. So, we feel bad about it, but we could not overcome it. Jesus Christ says that we must be born again; that is to be born of the spirit; that is to receive the holy spirit from God, so that the spirit may protect us from doing evil. For that, we must repent for our sins and ask God to give us the holy spirit; and God will give us the holy spirit, to guide us in his ways. It is in Luke 11:9-13. [" 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened... 13 ... how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"] It is born of the spirit. As our souls are covered with flesh bodies when we are born, now the spirit will cover our soul as the second body, as we are born again, and this is born of the spirit. Now, our soul has the flesh body as well as the spirit body. So, now we are complete with soul, body, and spirit. So, the holy spirit is the third part of a born-again person.
"Genesis 3:19, dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. and 1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." So, our flesh bodies will not go to heaven. Many preachers often say that our bodies will be raised as a glorified body, with no sickness, nor with old age and so on. It is their total ignorance, but not the truth. If we are born of the spirit, the Holy Spirit will be our body, and it will lead us in spiritual life. When we go to heaven, this spirit will be glorified as our body in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 Say, that as our flesh bodies will return to dust. And if we have the spirit, it will be glorified in heaven, we will be clothed with it, and God, who gave the earnest of the spirit will do it. ["1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit."] If we have come up to the status of his sons, our spirit will be glorified to the status of Jesus Christ himself, as in 1 John 3:2. ["2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."]
If you are religious, you will be appreciated by your church, applauded by your friends, and by so many others. If you are righteous, God will reward you with heavenly glory. God says in Isaiah 64:4 and 1 Corinthians 2:9&10 that "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." If we have the holy spirit in us, God the Holy Ghost may reveal these things to us, through the holy spirit, and will make us understand these glorious things so that we may delight in the things in heaven, and to look forward to them. Then we will say,"1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?". So, we will have the victory, but not our sufferings, not our death bed, and not our grave. So, let us praise God.
God Bless You

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
