Why Call it a Soul Center?

Why “Soul Centers”?

Human souls belong to God and only find peace and life transformation reconciled to God. A Soul Center connects humans to reconciliation with God.

The Creation of the Soul

Christianity teaches that God created humans as living souls.

Genesis 2:7  Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. 

Fall of the Soul

These living souls are made to be connected to God. They belong to God. The human soul fell into sin, as we read about in Genesis 3. The result of this fall into sin was spiritual and physical death.

Ezekiel 18:4  For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son—both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die.

Soul Troubles - Common problem

The only hope for fallen souls is Jesus Christ. His death and resurrection have reconnected humans to God and defeated death (John 3:16). Humans are reconnected to God in a walk that continues transforming and saving their souls.

1 Peter 1:8-9  Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Souls Connected to the Divine

Our souls have a living relationship with the Divine. What was separated at the fall of humanity has been restored! In Jesus Christ, we have been reconciled to God through faith. The deposit of faith and new life has genuinely saved our souls! The Holy Spirit continues the work of reconciliation and renewal.

2 Timothy 1:14  Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
