The Believer's Sphere of Life & Base of Operations: A Bible Study

The Bible is clear on its teaching about the inner man and the outer man. In the Bible, the inner man is the spirit, and the outward man is the soul and body, either or both. This is really quite simple. The outer man is the soul or natural man, and the inner man is the spirit or spiritual man.

The mixture of these two has harmed the Body of Christ more than any other single thing! It is imperative that Christians who preach and teach the Word of God be clear about the Biblical teaching on this subject. Otherwise, the understanding of the nature of man and the application of the Gospel to his life and needs will continue to be hindered by the teachings of psychology and philosophy flooding our schools and society today.
