How do we know the soul is immortal?

Answered in 1 source

The soul is considered immortal as it can exist independently of the body and undergoes different states such as purity, depravity, and regeneration (James 2:26).

Biblical teaching on the immortality of the soul is evident in various Scriptures that indicate the soul's capacity to persist after physical death. For instance, James 2:26 states that 'the body without the spirit is dead,' implying a clear distinction between the physical body and the immaterial soul. Theological reflections affirm that while the body is susceptible to death and decay, the soul continues to exist. This is further illustrated by verses such as Luke 23:46, where Jesus commends His spirit to the Father, affirming the soul's existence beyond death. Thus, the belief in the soul's immortality is tied directly to its divine origin and nature.
