God is a Spirit. "John 4:24 says God is a Spirit: ..." His Spirit is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. His power attributes are in his Spirit. Absolutely nothing is impossible to him. He always fills the entire universe. God knows everything, even he knows what we think. Nothing is hidden from God. Because of these Omni-powers in his Spirit, he is God. God is also Light, as in "1 John 1:5 ... (he) declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." John 3:21, Acts 26:18, and 2 Corinthians 4:4, also says that God is light. {"John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, ... Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, ... 2 Corinthians 4:4 ... the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, ..."} "Ephesians 3:9 says ... the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, …" This fellowship is of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: as in Matthew 28:19. It says that these three Souls or Persons in God have fellowship which is of a mystery, in one Spirit. This fellowship is a team as they are One, and they are contained in God, the omnipotent Spirit.
We study about creation from the beginning of the bible, where the creation of man is amazing. Man was made as three parts, in three separate days, and assembled together as one being. God created the Spirit of man on the first day and call the Spirit as light. Then, God created the Souls of man and woman, on the sixth day. After the Sabbath day of rest, God created the living body of man, and it was in flesh and blood from the dust of the earth. God gave this living body, to the Soul to live in. But the Soul was in a dormant stage, and it had no life. "Genesis 2:7 says that God, ... breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." So, God breathed Spirit into his nostrils to his dormant soul, and the soul became a living Soul. So now, the man or the soul has two lives, one is by the flesh body, and the next is by the Spirit body. But these two bodies will compete with each other within the man; Flesh for things of the world; and the Spirit for things of the kingdom of heaven. And at the end, when the flesh body dies, the Spirit body will continue to live with the soul. 2 Corinthians 5:1-3 say {"1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked."} that if a person does not have Spirit, the soul will be found naked, and the man will be cast into hell.
We are flesh body, soul, and Spirit. God is Soul and Spirit. What God and man have in common? God does not have a flesh body; so, God is not like our body. The Spirit of God is omnipotent, powerful enough that if we see him, we will die. So, we cannot be like his Spirit. What is left is the Soul. Genesis 1:26&27 says that God created man in his image. {"26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, ... 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; ..."} So, God has made our souls as the same as his Soul. He created the souls on the sixth day and the flesh body after the sabbath day. So, he has created the soul before he has created the body. "Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee;" So, even now, soul is created first, then the body is formed, then the soul moves into the body, and becomes a baby at conception. So we are actually souls, and we live in our bodies. One more very important thing is, since our soul is created exactly as God's soul, God requires us to be holy and righteous like him. So, God will give us the Spirit which is life and power to the soul.
"Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." and again "16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." {"Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good."} So, we see that God has made two kinds of lights. Verse 16 is about the lights of the world for illumination. And the light in verse 3 is not only light, but it is also the Spirit that God has created for man. It is the Spirit of man, and latter, it is also known as the holy Spirit, since it leads people to holiness and to heaven. Verse 26 says that {"Genesis 1:26, God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."} God made our Spirit also in the likeness of his Spirit. However, if the light of God is as bright as the sun in the sky, our spirit is as a candlelight and yet it has the likeness of the Spirit of God. However, our Spirit must grow, and it can grow up to the fullness of Jesus Christ, as in Ephesians 4:11-13. {"11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"} Jesus lived a holy life when he was a man and proved that a man can live a holy life. But we struggle and we are not able to live a holy life; why?, because we do not have power. However, we are born again; have received the holy spirit; and still we do not have power. Then what? John 3:34 says, {"... God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him."} that the spirit is given by measure, and Jesus has received the spirit beyond measure. So, it is not just born again of the spirit, but how much Spirit we have received. John 7:37-39 says {"37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"} that we can drink all we desire until the spirit flows out of our bellies. So, do not be satisfied just to quench the present thirst, but receive the holy Spirit beyond measure in order to have as much power as we need in life as well as in the works the we do.
In the beginning God has created all things for six days, he took rest on the seventh day, and it was the sabbath. After the sabbath, he resumed his creation again. God created the body of Adam from the dust of the ground, and Eve from the rib of Adam, it is in "Genesis 2:7&22, {7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, ... 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, ..."} and gave their bodies to their souls for them to live in. With soul and flesh body we are people, man or woman. Please note: that the bodies do not live by their souls, but by their blood. Blood gives life to the body. It is in Genesis 9:5, Leviticus 17:11&14, and Deuteronomy 12:23. {"Genesis 9:5 says ... your blood of your lives ... Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: ... 14 ... the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: Deuteronomy 12:23 ...: for the blood is the life;"} And so, at the moment the blood stop circulating, the body dies. When we die, our bodies go back to dust, it is in Genesis 3:19 and Ecclesiastes 12:7. {"Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."} And our flesh bodies will not be raised to life to inherit eternal life in heaven."1 Corinthians 15:50 says, Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; ...." But preachers say that our bodies will be raised as glorious bodies. Their sermons are all lies and they are out of their ignorance.
If you have time, please read Romans 8:1-14. {"Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."} You may give more importance to verses 1,4,6, &13. They say, the life that pleases our flesh will lead us to eternal death, but the Spirit will lead us to inherit eternal life. Our Soul has two bodies; one is flesh and the other is Spirit. 2 Corinthians 5:1&5 say that the flesh body is temporary, and the Spirit body is permanent. {"2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ... 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit."} And we are in the temporary body or tabernacle for a shorter period of time to do a certain job that will benefit us in eternity. And it is to lay up treasures for us in heaven; it is in Matthew 6:19-21. {"19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."} So, live in the flesh body as we are living in a tabernacle, knowing that it is temporary, and we are here to do the job to inherit the kingdom of God in heaven. And our Spirit body will be glorified in heaven, but our flesh body will return to dust as it should. And, if we are not be born of the Spirit, we, that is even our souls, cannot go to any part of heaven, not even to paradise. Spirit is the life of the Soul.
God is one Omnipotent Spirit, and he has three Souls or Persons in him. God is God because of the power attributes in his Spirit. The attributes of his Souls are righteousness, holiness, and judgment. God created the soul of man as the same as his Soul and so, God requires man to be righteous and holy. God created the Spirit of man in the likeness of his Spirit. Likeness has appearance only. For an example: If the brightness of the Spirit of God is compared to the Sun in the sky, the spirit of man is just the light of a candle. {"Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ..."} However, the bible says that we can grow in the character attributes "unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:", it is in Ephesians 4:13. If we attain this perfection as we live in the world, we can be called as the sons of God. It is in Philippians 2:15. {"15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;"} If we have attained this level, 1 John 3:1&2 says, {"1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."} that we will also look like the Lord Jesus Christ in his glory. God is Soul with Spirit body; we will also be Souls in Spirit body as Sons of God. The very purpose of the creation of God is to beget his Sons and to choose the bride of Christ. Sons and Bride will live with him forever. When it is achieved, it will be the end; and the entire solar system will become the lake of fire. We all will be either in the lake of fire, or we will be in heaven as children, servants, Sons of God, even as Bride of Christ. I hope that you all will be in heaven.
God Bless You

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
