Evening meditation. God's wisdom will change our mortal bodies to eternal as they were in the beginning before the fall. The body is of the corrupted seed. Jesus in a perfect body overcame the world and opened the door to heaven for the believer. Like Daniel we can pray openly, without shame, and commune with our God by Jesus Christ. We are free in Christ by our free soul, covered by the blood and washed by the living water of our Lord. In the Kingdom of God there is the blood bought Church which has blood bought members in peace and in unity and in fellowship with one another. They form a better body of faith together, in hope together of eternal life in the Throne of God. In this life in earth the journey has begun for the new in Life but we must at the appointed time shed this earthen vessel for a heavenly vessel as the earthen vessel is subject to this earth and not the Kingdom in Heaven. The Christian is literally in the world but not of the world if we remain faithful to the heavenly body by the Church as Jesus is her head. Someday He will take her to heaven and marry her forever in His Eternal Home at the Throne of God. This body now, the earthen vessel by Grace can remain bound to the Hope in Heaven

like an engagement ring. And yet the body with a spirit made clean is now a symbol or a type for our remaining hours on the earth of the work of Jesus Christ, where this pilgrimage began. Our memory is best at the Cross where we are made common in heavenly places. And so while here as pilgrims and strangers on and in earth we can share the Gospel story of Peace in man.

Thank you GIGI, big work day needs prayers. God Bless you.

Hi Carleton, yes, in this life we are bound by our sinful nature which corrupts both our body and soul. It is not just our body that sins, it is our soul also.

We will have a like resurrection as that of Jesus where our physical body is resurrected and reunited with our soul, but both our body and soul will be perfected and glorified. Our body is not any more evil than our soul, both are corrupted by our sinful nature and need redemption. It is clear from Scripture that God has shown us in the resurrection of His Son that we all will have a bodily resurrection. How the life to come will be for us as body, soul, and spirit, we just cannot know in this life, but Scripture is clear, that we will be like Jesus in His human nature, perfectly whole, complete, sinless, and glorified.

Can't wait!

Good morning GIGI, I am happy with you knowing a better day remains ahead.

Amen.

Carleton,

Praying you have a wonderful day today in the Lord.
