Are humans made of body, soul and spirit?

Chuck Smith, Vanity, Vanity, chapter 1: Now in making me a threefold being He has so integrated my body, soul, and spirit it is really difficult to divide between them. Whatever affects my body affects my mind, whatever affects my body affects my spirit, and whatever affects my mind affects my body. My body and mind are very closely related. Whatever affects my mind affects my spirit and whatever affects my spirit affects my body, whatever affects my spirit affects my mind. I am so interrelated I can’t really divide between the three of them you see. That’s why when your spirit is renewed with Jesus Christ it affects you every way. It affects your whole mental outlook; your whole attitude, your emotions and it will also affect you physically. From Chuck Smith's books, used by permission of The Word For Today.
