Trichotomy

Mike Daniel discusses trichotomy which means we are a 3-part person: body, soul and spirit, including that when you believe lies from your flesh, the world or the enemy, and your emotions go along with the lies, you can fall into the error of thinking you have to work harder and do more for God to get what you want from Him, and when you fail, you end up justifying, coping or blaming others. God, however, can work in the midst of your sin and rebellion to change your source from yourself to Him. The battle of the mind is to take every thought captive to the knowledge of His finished work and then to rest in Him and His finished work.
