Man is a tripartite being. He is a spirit that has a soul and lives inside a body. The body isn’t the man. The body is the house where the true essence of the man dwells. God made Adam out of dust (body) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (spirit) and the man became a living soul (mind, emotions and will).
How To Deal With Death and Grief

A body dies when its spirit leaves. This could be due to sickness, old age or accident. When that happens, a person’s body is considered physically dead. The spirit of a man dies when it’s separated from God’s Spirit through sin. Adam died the very day he sinned against God. Though his spirit was still in his body, God’s Spirit was not in his spirit and that made him spiritually dead.
