What are the parts of the soul according to the Bible?
The soul's parts are the mind, which does the thinking and formulates; the will, which carries out decisions; and the emotions, such as anger, love, and joy. These comprise the soul, distinct from the body and spirit with which Adam was created.
Les explains that the soul's faculties include the mind, which does the thinking and formulates everything; the will, which carries out what the mind decides; and the emotions, such as anger, love, and joy. He further notes that Adam was created with body, soul, and spirit, enabling fellowship and communion with the Creator. When Adam sinned, his spirit died, becoming dormant like a tree in winter or a run-down car battery, until regeneration. At the same time, Adam's created personality became a sin nature—the old Adam—bent only toward rebellion against everything God instructed.
