You mean do we [b]have[/b] a soul? Absolutely we do. We are immortal, living souls. There are two realities in the universe: the unseen, immaterial, spiritual realm and the visible, physical, material world. The soul does exist and we, in fact, are living souls. We live, even when our bodies die.
The soul animates the body. While the soul can live without the body, the body cannot live without the soul. When a soul returns to a lifeless body, the body is said to “rise from the dead” or to be “revived”. We are living souls, and our souls are “seen” in this physical world, as they are united with, and animating, our physical bodies. (Luke 16-19-31, 1 Kings 17:19-23)
Souls are active. Even after our bodies die, as living souls, we are not passively waiting for our resurrection bodies. In the time between our physical death and our resurrection at the Second Coming of Christ, we will not be in a state of dormancy. We will be active and available to God. (Ecclesiastes 12:5-7, Matthew 17:1-3)
