Human beings are body, soul and spirit.
The human body is made from the 'dust of the earth'. Our bodies are a composite of natural elements.
The human spirit is from God and therefore eternal, it cannot die.
God 'breathed' life into Adam and Adam became a living soul.
The human soul is the seat of life and comes into being when the spirit unites with the body.
When Jesus died for our sins his body went into the grave, his spirit was disconnected from the body and went to the Father awaiting the physical resurrection on the third day.
Jesus' resurrection from the dead is the old and lifeless body changed and renewed into an eternal body and reunited with his spirit. His resurrection body is untouched by time or space and is a body which will live with God for eternity.
Such a body is God's promise to everyone who believes in Christ Jesus.
Those who do not believe will be resurrected, but will be forever in the lake of fire, Why? because they rejected Christ's sacrifice and preferred their 'good works'.
