The legalist inflates the ego, flatters the flesh, and pleases the world; The True Christian Crucifies all three.
If just keeping the law could not make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
This earthly tent we live in is not our heavenly home.
Promised from John 14 Verse 1 to 6:
Our Lord and Our Friend has prepared a place for us in His eternal Kingdom.
2 Corinthians 5 Verse 1: "For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down {that is when we die and leave this earthly body}. We will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God Himself and not made with Human hands".
The Apostle Paul was a tent maker {Acts 18 Verse 1 to 3} and here he was used a tent as a picture of our earthly bodies. A tent is a weak temporary structure, without much beauty, but the glorious body we receive will be eternally beautiful and never show signs of weakness or decay.
Philippians 3 Verses 20 and 21:
V20: "But we are citizens of heaven where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for His return as our Savior'.
V21: "He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like His own, using the same power with which He will bring everything under His control".
We have been made New in Christ, old things are passed away, all things have become new.
We have been Justified by Christ Jesus's death and resurrection.
We are being Sanctified in our covenant walk with The Holy Spirit.
We will receive Glorification. And a new Glorified body when we go home to be with the Lord.
Jesus come to set us free from the bondages of this world.
Be transformed on a daily basis by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
God Bless.
