SO, THIS IS HOW IT IS
Your Salvation and mine is only a minute part of our Fathers overall plan. For God so loved the world (all of mankind) that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in and receives Him into their life as their Life (Col 3:4) He can now continue His redemption of mankind through our prepared bodies (Heb 10:5). That is what Romans 12:1&2 means when it says present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by this new way of thinking that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Our body has become His body here on earth (Eph 1:22,23) and we have this Treasure (Christ in you) in earthen vessels (2Co 4:7, Col 1:26,27). We must remember that our bodies have become the temples (dwelling place) of the Holy Spirit, and that we have been bought with a price: not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, (1Pe 1:18), But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot or blemish (1Pe 1:19): We are not our own therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. And Remember, the body is for the Lord and the Lord is for the body (1Pe 1:19). God has not only promised to dwell in you but also to walk in you (2Co 6:16) and He has promised to give you the words to speak (1Co 12:3) for the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. (Lu 12:12). May God be with you, or more correctly be in you all, Amen.
