What is our soul? God made us a living soul so our substance is not in mere abstract aspect of the Spirit; we are formed of the dust of the ground but Christ Jesus our mediator, 'Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;'. In his triumph do not not belong to this natural world either. We are betwixt and between. It is like my signature and it is valid even after I am gone. My legal heirs can lay claim to my possessions since I attested my will by signing it.
In the Song of Solomon he refers to soul as an enclosed garden."A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed." Christ sees me as the bride so the substance, a glorious body is prepared for me in heaven as was for the Son whose house are we by faith. In the vision of Daniel we see the body prepared for the Son of man, " and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened." Our names are written in the books which Jesus also attest."but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."( Lk. 10.20)
We are an enclosed garden so each soul has equal access to the living waters from the abundant mercies of the Father. "A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon." This being the case what does the field of a sluggard indicate? "And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down."(Prov.24.30-31) In marriage breaks up mental cruelty is a case that partners give as a reason. What one does to the soul, these little ones are worse than spiritual cruelty. "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."(Lk.17.2) We broke the pledge, and covenant breakers are cast into outer darkness.
