This week we look at some scriptures that identify the three parts of the soul. Please take time to read the scriptures and do a word study.
A. Volition (Will)
1. Psalm 27:12
2. Psalm 41:2
3. Ezekiel 16:27
4. Deuteronomy 21:14
5. Psalm 35:25
6. Numbers 30:2
7. 1 Chronicles 22:19
8. Jeremiah 44:14
The will or heart here points to the human will. “Set the heart”, “lift up their soul,” “refuse” and “choose” are all exercises of the will, having their springs in the soul.
B. Intellect or Mind
1. Ezekiel 24:25
2. Proverbs 19:2
3. Psalm 13:2
4. Psalm 139:14
5. Lamentations 3:20
6. Proverbs 2:10
7. Proverbs 3:21-22
8. Proverbs 24:14
Here “knowledge”, “counsel”, “lift up”, “think”, etc., exist as the activities of man’s intellect or mind, which the Bible indicates as emanating from the soul.
Next week we will study the Emotions and it three parts, affection, desire, and feeling.
