Your Soul

 

The true person of the human being is soul. In other words, soul is living inside the house, which is the body.

"Matt 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

The soul is created at our conception but it never dies. At the death of the body, the soul who is the person of the body, will either be sent to heaven or hell.

"Matt 25:34 --- Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

then in: 41 --- Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"

Even though the soul is a spirit in nature, one soul and one body is permanently joined at the conception. When the body dies, the soul leaves. Soul, being the person, bears the character. Soul is responsible for our deeds. 

The deeds of other living beings (animals)  are controlled by their instincts since they do not have souls.
