S3.E6. The Body of Man

Man was created a tripartite being in the beginning and he will always be body, spirit and soul even unto eternity.  This means that salvation must, by all means, come to all three components of man or he will be incomplete in eternity--first salvation comes to the spirit in the new birth, then the soul is progressively saved in this lifetime, and finally the resurrection of the body will occur at the return of Christ.   If in this age one is saved in spirit and soul, and he dies, what happens to his body? It returns to the earth for it has not yet been redeemed. A soul in this state is Biblically stated to be found “naked” in the afterlife.  Those believers now in the afterlife wait with us who are alive for the completeness of salvation, the resurrection of our bodies.
