What is the
spirit of life by which man lives, and which is only lent him of God,
and at death goes back to the great Author of life? Having come from
Him, it belongs to God, and man can have it eternally only as a gift
from God, through Jesus Christ. (Roman 6:23). When the spirit goes
back to God, the dust, from which man was made a “living soul” in the
beginning, goes back as it was, to the earth, and the
individual no longer exists as a living, conscious, thinking being,
except as he exists in the mind, plan, and purpose of God through
Christ and the resurrection. In this sense “all live unto him” (Luke
20:38), for all are to be raised from the dead. (See John 5:28, 29;
Acts 24:15; Romans 4:17).
1. What
is a soul?
“And the LORD
God formed man of the _____ of the ground, and breathed into
his nostrils the ________ of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen.
2:7).
2. What
(3) three parts make up man?
“And the very
God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole
_______ and ______ and ________ be preserved blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thess. 5:23).
3. Is
the soul immortal?
“Behold, all
souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son
is mine: the ______ that sinneth, it shall ______” (Eze. 18:4)
4. What
happens when a person dies?
“Then shall the _____ return to the
earth as it was: and the ______ shall return unto God who gave it”
(Eccl. 12:7).
5. Do
good people go directly to heaven at death?
“All that
are in the ______ shall hear his voice,
and shall come forth”
(John 5:28, 29). “The patriarch David, that he is both dead and
________, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. For David is not
ascended into the heavens.” (Acts 2:29, 34).
6. Can
the dead communicate with the living? Do they know anything?
“Man
lieth down, and riseth not.” His sons come to honour, and he knoweth
it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it
not of them” (Job 14:12, 21). “The
dead know not any thing…their love, and their hatred, and their envy,
is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any
thing that is done under the sun”
(Eccl. 9:5, 6).
7. What
was the devil’s first lie?
“And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall ____ surely die.”
(Gen. 3:4).
8. Who
only has immortality?
“That
thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until
the appearing of our ______ Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall
shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings,
and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality”
(1 Tim. 6:14-17).

all who believe?
