Three parts of Man

The description that false teachers are “soulish” (ψυχικός -Greek translation ) but “without the Spirit” clearly identifies them as unregenerated people, and by implication, this description provides some insight into the nature of a regenerated person as well. The “natural man” is a fallen creature who is devoid of spirit (ruach Hebrew pronunciation ) as a result of the inherited sin condition of Adam and Eve. As such, he is alienated from the Spirit of God (Ruach Hakodesh -Hebrew pronunciation) and unable to apprehend the Divine Presence. Such a person is composed primarily of body (i.e., basar) and a soul (i.e., nefesh), and the will instinctively is directed toward the satisfaction of the ego and its needs. The “heart” (lev) of such a person is centered in the lower desires of the soul, which drives the emotions, instincts, and so on. When a person is reborn by the Holy Spirit, however, he is made into a new creation (Hebrew spelling –בְּרִיאָה חֲדָשָׁה) and a “rebirthed spirit” is divinely imparted by which he can communicate with God. The Holy Spirit then writes the Torah (commandments) upon a new heart (i.e., lev chadash Hebrew pronunciation ) that directs the will to seek the LORD and to live in His Presence:

This “tripartite” model of the regenerated person helps explain the struggle we have with sinful impulses in our lives. The “new nature” seeks to please God, yet the “old nature” selfishly desires to gratify the instincts of the flesh. These desires find their correspondence in the “law of the Spirit of life” and the “law of sin and death,” respectively. “For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do” (Gal. 5:17). We are set free from this conflict by faith – by being led by the power of the Holy Spirit. “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” Our relationship with the “Second Adam” imparts to us life-giving spirit (1 Cor. 15:45), and the resurrection of Yeshua Jesus gives us power to walk in newness of life. “Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven” (1 Cor. 15:49). ‎”Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit (Hebraic spelling-(רוּחַ) and soul (נֶפֶשׁ) and body (גְּוִיָּה) (i.e., τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα Greek spelling) be kept blameless at the coming of Yeshua Jesus our Messiah and LORD” (1 Thess. 5:23). We are sanctified by the truth of the Word of God (John 17:17), which pierces “even to the point of dividing soul from spirit (Greek translation ψυχῆς καὶ πνεύματος), and joints from marrow” (Heb. 4:12).
