Subject: clean body natural and spiritual |
Bible Note: Hello to you CDBJ, Not at all. I realize that as an “earth walker”, we as humans are spirit, soul and body I Thes 5:23. We are a three part being, and God revealed that to us in his word, in my understanding, so that we could “rightly divide the word of truth” II Tim 2:15, in this area also. We understand that the spirit of man is eternal, it is in God’s image. John 4:24 “God is a Spirit”...it is his image! In fact that is why all spirits, saved or lost, will live forever. God is “The” eternal Spirit that created all spirits, so all spirits live forever, even satan and his demons according to the word. Saved spirits live forever in heaven, lost spirits live forever in hell. When the spirit of man leaves the natural body, we say the person “died”. From the natural standpoint, from our view naturally, the physical body no longer has “life” or the Spirit of the Eternal God ,John 1:4, within it, so it dies and decays. In other words, God is the source of all life, light, matter etc. yes, the spirit can be seperated from the body, and is, in a persons death. The soul, (the mind, will and emotions) are in tact with the spirit, otherwise the rich man in hell could not have known Lazarus, called out to Abraham to send him with water..etc.Luke 16:20-25, but we are aware the body “dies”while we are on this earth. The good news? Eph 1:14 speaks of “the redemption of the purchased possession” and Ro 8:23 speaks of “the redemption of our body” being the “adoption” spoken of in Ephe 1:5 It is the natural body which is in the “bondage of corruption (i.e. natural death)” Ro 8:21, 25 and it further states “we patiently wait for it” meaning the redemption of our natural bodies to incorruptible bodies. You will see this when you read the portions noted in context and ask the Lord to reveal it to you. Christ not only died to save our human spirits, but for our natural bodies at the resurrection, at the last trump, didn’t he. I Cor 15:50-57. It’s a win, win situation!! Is your profile in the record. I looked and I do not see that portion of the program on the site. I’m sure I’m overlooking it.. Always In Christ, C.S.M. |
