God’s Word for Today - 20 Aug 2024
1 Corinthians 15:50 KJV — Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 20 Aug 2024
We all have different capacities for imagination and capturing the truth about what life in heaven looks like and what manner of people will be found there. Until we learn to see with the eyes of faith and trust in the doctrines of Christ, we will continue to struggle with these issues because they are spiritually discerned. You must know that flesh and blood, that is you in your body of clay, you are inherently corrupt. And no corrupted vessel can abide in God’s presence. For this reason when you have walked faithfully with Jesus on this side of eternity, you are resurrected with an incorruptible body for heavenly citizenship. But you must first earn your way by living righteously and pleasing God.
Pray: Dear Lord, help me to persevere as you take me through your refining furnace to make me ready for life with you. #Mok
