THE THREE YOU!
Genesis 1:27 AMPC
So God created man in His own image, in the image and
likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.
God made us in His own image, which means we are special and
reflect Him in important ways. When we talk about the "three you," we
mean three parts of who you really are. The three me or you is.
The you that everyone sees and thinks they know. Secondly, the
you that you know and the you that God made and knows. Which of you is real?
Spirit, Soul, and Body
The Bible talks about three parts of us: spirit, soul, and
body according to 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
The body is what people see—the physical part.
The soul is your mind, will, and feelings.
The spirit is the deepest part, made to connect with God.
The body is the lowest part of man, the physical man, the
fleshly or natural man and the aspect of man that everybody sees and thinks
they know: “think” because people don’t know people as well as they believe.
But do you know you? Do you know what God thinks about you?
So many still do not accept what Psalm 139:14 declares about
us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, that’s something our souls
should know very well.
We were created with the ability to think, communicate,
understand right and wrong, be creative, and experience relationships with God
and with one another.
But society will have us believe otherwise, that we are not
good enough for some things, can’t go to certain places or do other things even
though God says in Psalm 8:6 that He’s given us dominion over all things
The Hebrew word for man Adam, is the generic term for both
male and female, though sometimes it refers to a man in distinction from a woman
and allows men and women to represent God wherever they are.
God blessed and graced everyone differently, there are
things, gifts, talents, and skills unique to just alone and no other person no
matter how much they try can emulate as Psalm 139:13, everything there is about
you was intentionally done by the Lord.
You know yourself very well (except of course you’re not
truthful with yourself) and what others know about you is whatever they see,
perceive, assume, and are told.
Occasionally, you’ll contend with the three “yous” you will
believe the report of you that other people give which may cause you to operate
from below the potential of God for you.
From a spiritual perspective, the “three ‘You’” can be seen
as addressing the individual believer’s relationship with God and others: you
in relationship with God.
God calls each person to personal faith and obedience.
Scriptures emphasize “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart”
(Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37). This “You” is the call to individual devotion
and surrender.
The you in relationship with Self: The Bible teaches
self-examination and personal responsibility. “Examine yourselves, to see
whether you are in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5). This “You” is about
personal holiness, growth, and integrity.
And you in Relationship with Others: Jesus commands, “You
shall love your neighbours as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). This “You” calls for
empathy, kindness, and community responsibility.
You’ll contend with the “you” that you know but still doubt
the word of God concerning you, which will make you walk less of who you are.
The Real You
Sometimes, people or society might make you feel like you’re
not good enough. But God’s Word says you have power and purpose (Psalm 8:6).
The word Adam means all people, showing we all represent God.
You might struggle with the "you" others see, the
"you" you know, and the "you" God knows. Life can make you
doubt God’s promises. But the most important "you" is the one God
knows and leads (Romans 8:14).
What really matters is what God thinks about you, not what
others say. Let God’s view of you guides your life, and you will live in
victory and purpose.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for making me in your image and likeness,
help me to be conscious of these always and express your glory fully in Jesus’
name. Amen.
