The Revelation
Nephesh (נֶפֶשׁ)
Your nephesh is your self — mind, will, emotions. It is not born again in a moment; it is restored in a process. David sang, "He restoreth my nephesh" (Ps 23:3). Peter calls it "the salvation of your souls" (1 Pet 1:9). Every day the Word washes it. Every day the Holy Spirit renews it. Your nephesh is being conformed to the image of Christ.
