Our "deeds" are the works of our souls. Our thoughts, perceptions and decisions are expressed through our souls. It is with our souls we write poetry and lyrics; we create works of art and music; we volunteer to help the needy; we interact with our families and neighbors. But, it is also our souls which express our thoughts of hatred and prejudice, adultery and greed, murder and thievery. The soul is the communicator of the condition of one's spirit and the contents of one's heart. "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart" (Luke 6:45). The mouth, the hands and the feet are the instruments the soul uses for its expression, the heart is the governor of the soul. How important, then, is the soul to the purposes of God? Think about it.
