What is spirituality?
When we talk about spirituality, we’re not referring to vague feelings, meditation techniques, or mystical emotions. In the biblical sense, spirituality means that every person has an indestructible, eternal identity that exists beyond the physical body.
More Than Flesh and Bone
Our bodies are wonderful gifts from God. They help us move, speak, touch, and experience life in the world He made.
But they’re not the whole story. The body is our temporary home, while the spirit is our true self — the part of us that continues even after physical death.
Illustration: Think of a musician and a violin.
The violin allows the musician’s song to be heard, but the music itself is born in the musician’s heart and mind.
In the same way, our bodies express who we are, but our spirit is the real composer behind the song of life.
God Created Both the Physical and the Spiritual
The Bible never says our bodies are bad or unimportant. In fact, Genesis 1:31 tells us that God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.
God designed both body and spirit — each with a purpose. The body connects us to the earth; the spirit connects us to God.
But it’s vital to remember:
Our true identity doesn’t depend on our physical form. We are spiritual beings first, created in the image of a spiritual God.
Life Beyond the Body
One of the most beautiful truths of Scripture is that death is not the end.
When our earthly bodies fail, our spirits live on. That’s why Jesus could tell the thief on the cross,
“Today you will be with Me in paradise.” — Luke 23:43
Even before the resurrection of their bodies, their spirits would continue — fully alive in the presence of God.
A Simple Truth to Remember
Spirituality isn’t about escaping the physical world or chasing mysterious experiences.
It’s about recognizing that who you are goes far deeper than what you see in the mirror.
You are a spirit — known, loved, and sustained by the God who created both body and soul.
Your body may fade, but your true self, your spirit, will live forever in Him.
