Soul (11)
To own and stand up for a hated and despised truth will bring more comfort to our souls than all the pleasure the wicked have in their sensual delights.
While Greek anthropology kept clear distinctions between mind, soul, and body, Hebrew anthropology was more holistic—such elements were not clearly distinguishable and tended to blend into each other. It is perhaps best, therefore, to regard the inner person as consisting of all conceivable internal elements, such as what we would call the mind, the heart, and the soul. Or, as Best, summarizes, it expresses "the moral and spiritual side in people." Ephesians 3:16Pillar Commentary
A man's free will cannot cure him even of the toothache, or a sore finger; and yet he madly thinks it is in its power to cure his soul.
As the soul is infinitely better than the body, and life eternal than life present, so the food of the soul is far better than that of the body, and the saving of the spiritual life better than the preservation of the temporal life.Puritan Meditations, Puritan Publications, 2024
Two men cannot be one, because they have two souls, no more could we be one with Christ were it not the same Spirit in him and us.

The soul's deepest thirst is for God Himself, who has made us so that we can never be satisfied without Him.
It is only an infinite God, and an infinite good, that can fill and satisfy the precious and immortal soul of man.
The child's most precious things are most secure in his father's hands; so are our souls, our grace, and our comforts in the hand of Christ.
Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider,-will not look forward,-will not look around them,-will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways,-and awake at last to find they are damned for lack of thinking.
One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the
world.
