What is the difference between soul and spirit?
-
I was innocently reading 2 Corinthians Chapter 3 in my prayer time when a flood of insights started invading me. In this chapter, St. Paul speaks about the dispensation of the Spirit in contrast to the dispensation of the Law. It hit me that God’s eternal plan, the one hidden from eternity and revealed in its fullness through Christ, is the dispensation of the Spirit. Without the Spirit, there is no Incarnation and no Resurrection; there is also no life.
In John 6, Jesus says to his disciples, “It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is to no avail.” Sometimes we interpret this to mean the body is worthless, or even worse, that our bodily flesh is evil. Our flesh is the cause of sin.
