I have an idea
how do we connect the soul and the spirit?
I think we have to experience the life perspective of following Jesus and believing in God.
you will reap what you sow.
so sow the spirit into your soul and watch it grow into the image of God.
Fun fact plants reach towards light, it's called phototropism.
Jesus used the metaphor that he is the vine of life, God is the gardener, through Jesus we have the ability to grow a "beanstalk" vine to climb up to God, and when cultivated by God's light we can bare fruit of eternal life, but only after death, maybe death is necessary to Purge the toxins from the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil, and be revived re-created by God or processed into juice that isn't poisonous, Jesus was the example and proof it was possible, but we can't do it because the conditions for God to revive us is to be sinless, but Jesus showed that he God can still revive anyone even if they sinned he's just that powerful.
They just need to grow the vine of Jesus, to pass through it's narrow door, maybe the toxins leave a stain but Jesus was known for washing feet and serving others he can do it so believe and be grateful.
god's judgment is necessary to burn the toxic fruit. hell fire holy fire same thing, holy goodness that burns away all sin.
CO² Smoke or sin can become sugars when a plant photosynthesizes it with sunlight, God's light can make sugars from sin.
Grace is like a vine that absorbs smoke and God's light, maybe it also requires water, consistently watering your faith in the vines ability.
TLDR Maybe salvation is like a chemical reaction, it takes time, energy, and ingredient and other conditional requirements to work.
