Immortals

Revelations 21:1-7

Imagine abiding in a place, where the God of all creation resides: a place where there’s no possible way to die, nothing to make you cry, or ever feel any type of pain in your body. Can you actually conjure in your mind, no more pains? I know many who suffer, and some who’ve recently passed on who have endured physical pains, and I could only offer prayer and encouragement as support, but there’s coming a time, when God will dwell with His people in the newly renovated heaven and earth, and all things will be significantly different.

God said He will make all things new, including our bodies. When we pass from mortal to immortality, living will never be the same. On the earth, we are susceptible to all the negative things associated with sin, including hurt, pain shame, sickness, and death, but our eternal future with God is secure, and offers benefits the likes of which none have ever enjoyed in this present world.

I don’t know everything we’ll enjoy in the life to come, but I am fully aware that God will be there, Jesus will be there, and the Holy Ghost will be there also. There will be no more seas in the next life, but there will be a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. There will also be the tree of life in the middle of the street, and on each side of the river. The Bible mentions in Revelations 22:2, the tree of life will bare 12 types of fruit, and the leaves will be good for healing. That alone increases my joy for what God has in store for those who endure, and keep His name holy in the present world.

Living in the 21st century is far from a cakewalk, but the church must remain strong, because the harvest is still plentiful, and God desires that all men come to repentance. It’s cool to set goals and have desires to attain things in this life, but only what you do for the kingdom of God, will carry over into the next.

Raised In Immortality

1 Corinthians 15:50-58

When we finally get the opportunity to see God face to face, we’ll have to be dressed appropriately for the occasion. God is omnipresent, and in all places at all times, but the very embodiment of His pure essence, resides in the kingdom of Heaven. When this earthly life is over, we’ll leave our corruptible, and mortal bodies behind, in place of new and improved incorruptible, and immortal bodies. It’ll only take a moment for God to change us into our eternal forms, so we should look forward to our expected upgrades.

While we’ve been commanded to properly care for our earthly bodies until we depart, we must not become too attached to them, and the things that bring us pleasure, because everything on this planet, will soon be destroyed. Our bodies will go back to the dust, houses, cars, money, and all those things we hold so dear, will be done away with. Some people are so into chiseling their bodies into the perfect form, until they forget to purge and purify their hearts. Others accumulate wealth, and stash it away, rather than find ways to help those in need. The church needs to wake up, and mind those things that please God, rather than themselves. We can never recover lost time, but we can take advantage of the time we have left, to get ourselves right with God. When judgment day comes, will you be sent to God’s right, or His left?

Walk in love,
