Study of Self
Gen 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; male and female created he
them”
Gen 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul”
2 Cor 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new”
2 Cor 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”
We are in the image of God – inward – soul.
We are an earthly house yet an eternal soul.

James 1:23-25 “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a
doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a
glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and
straightway forgetteth what…
James 1:23-25 …manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into
the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of
the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed”

art dead. Be watchful, and…
Rev 3:1-4 …strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to
die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember
therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and
repent. If therefore thou shalt…
Rev 3:1-4 …not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come
upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for
they are worthy”
