Equipped

My child, I have equipped you with gifts. Gifts that will glorify Me and lead others to Me. These gifts are not yours to keep but to share with a lost and hurting world. Use these gifts wisely and use them freely. Freely you received, freely give.

Matthew 10:8   Romans 12:6-8  1 Corinthians 12:8-11,28

Freedom

My child, you have been washed by the Blood of My beloved Son and sin is no longer master over you. Jesus took your punishment when He died on the cross. Live in the freedom that was purchased for you. Live your life for Me. I will glorify you as you glorify Me. This is the life I have for you.

John 17:22

Glorified Bodies

Here’s what Paul tells us about the destiny for the physical body for those who are in Christ: “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 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)

Thus the destiny of our threefold being is to be transformed into some sort of spiritual being—don’t ask me just what, but no doubt something much like Jesus became upon His resurrection.(1 John 3:2) My point is this: our ultimate destiny is not simply to throw off the baggage of our physical body when going to be with the Lord, but a melding of the elements of our nature into a glorified being who retains the original stamp of humanity.

Our body is to be transformed into that which is capable of enjoying a full and eternal union with our Creator.(Philippians 3:21) Our spirit is the starting place of that union here and now.(Revelation 3:20: “Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him, and will dine with him, and he with Me”.)
