"So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." (1 Corinthians 15:42-44)
For anyone who has ever experienced the death of a loved one, a Believer, these words bring comfort. For anyone who has ever watched someone they loved die from cancer or another terrible disease, find peace in the words above. I did, and I still do today.
God has promised us a new body, a Resurrection body that is perfect and more than we could ever hope for or dream about. That is beyond comprehension, isn’t it? To think that one day we will be resurrected into eternity, new and without flaw and we will never perish again, we will never sin again, we will never die again. Whew, it makes all we endure worthwhile.
Now, I feel the most important goal in this life time is to get to heaven and to bring as many people with me as I can. Are you feeling that way too?
