As human beings, we are dichotomous – body and soul. Being born again of the Spirit (made spiritually alive from spiritual death), we are restored to our original created state as trichotomous – body, soul, and spirit.

Faith sees the unseeable.
My faith waivers, but Bible Doctrine reinforces my faith, and I move on with God.
