Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness… Genesis 1:26 (NIV)
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 (NIV)
I have a Spirit
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
I have a Soul
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. Romans 7:21-23 (NIV)
I have a Body
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matthew 6:25-27 (NIV)
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:32 (NIV)
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV)
How do you keep the right spiritual order:
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:1-5 (NIV)
