Will the resurrection body of a believer who died have a soul and spirit in it?
Yes, the resurrection body of a believer will have a soul and spirit. At death, the soul and spirit separate from the body and go immediately into paradise to be present with the Lord. The resurrection body is raised in power but initially void of soul and spirit; the soul and spirit, already in glory, will be reunited with it.
Les explains that believers are baptized into Christ’s body by the Holy Spirit, not with water, but with the power of the Spirit. Those who are already dead will be raised in resurrection power. However, that resurrection body is still void of the soul and spirit because they were separated at physical death. The soul and spirit of that believer are already in glory. Les then turns to 2 Corinthians 5:6-8, where Paul writes that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord, walking by faith not by sight. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So at death the soul and spirit immediately go into paradise in heaven, into the presence of the Lord, but only in soul and spirit. The resurrection body will be reunited with them.
