We will be restored to our original body
lost at the fall…
what’s called resurrection body
but was our original
and restored to His creation
we will be with Him and see Him,
and see All His sons and daughters,
and see His spirit.
Our actual gorgeous family.
Why do you keep wanting that kind of body?
for what reason?
Such a body could DIE, and did!
Such a body, if given to you, could become corrupted again.
We should only want a body like the Lord's glorious Heavenly body!
The one we are going to receive in the Resurrection!
The original body lost in the fall was a body made of this earth.
The same earth that is doomed to perish!
Therefore having a body like the original body could not feel at home in eternity.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything
under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
glorious body." Philippians 3:20-21
Our citizenship (home) is in Heaven! Not the new earth. Adam's citizenship was earth!
Our resurrection body will be made of heavenly substances found in Heaven, just as
Adam's original body was from the elements of this earth!
There are also
heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies;
heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies;
but the splendor of the
heavenly bodies is one kind, and the
heavenly bodies is one kind, and the
splendor of the earthly bodies is
another. The sun has one
another. The sun has one
kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another;
and star differs from star in splendor."
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."
1 Corinthians 15:40-43
One reason Adam and Eve fell was because their bodies were not enough to keep them eternally happy!
They wanted more from life!
In our glorious resurrection bodies we will have no desire for such things. It will be glorious satisfaction!
