Hey guys
Have you ever wondered what will our bodies be like when we die?
You know, when we go to be with Jesus Christ for all eternity?
In the new heaven. The new earth.
Well, let's go straight to the Bible.
[Philippians 3:20-21]
So here we see that our physical
bodies will be transformed. We will be like Jesus in the
sense that we will live forever with these new glorified eternal bodies.
Now, when we look at the Bible In the time of the Bible, the people
there asked the same question. When we will be raised what
will our bodies be like? Paul answered this question.
[1 Corinthians 15:35-42] Amplified Version
Did you get that? I'm gonna read it again.
listen carefully and let it sink in.
[1 Corinthians 15:35-49] Amplified Version
So, this physical body.
It's full of weakness. It is temporary and it will die.
But our new glorified eternal bodies will live forever.
When Jesus rose from the grave He appeared to many people including the disciples and
He showed them His glorified body. And we will be like Him.
[1 Corinthians 15:20-22]
So this is the process. This is how it will work.
When you die, your body - physical body - will return to the ground.
To dust, where it came from in the first place. But your spirit will go to God.
[Ecclesiastes 12:7] Amplified Version
[2 Corinthians 5:8]
So you will not die. Your body will die - your
physical, temporary body, because it is weak and cannot live forever.
So it will die. But you will live forever.
Either with Christ or in eternal punishment. Then, later, God will give you an eternal body,
when Jesus comes the second time at the end of the age.
Then all the dead in Christ will rise the same way Jesus rose from the dead.
[1 Thessalonians 4:13-16]
To the natural person, when they look at graveyards and graves
they think that people are dead, right? We as believers, when our fellow brothers
and sisters in Christ die, we know when we look at them
No, it's more like for us, it's more like they are sleeping.
Because we know that their bodies are dead. But Christ
will let them rise again at the end of the age. And then what will our bodies look like?
[1 John 3:2]
So, as we discussed earlier, we will be like Jesus.
We won't be as powerful as He is.
He is God. We are not.
We are only similar in the way that His body when He rose from the grave,
He's eternal, glorified, different, right? Then before He was crucified.
It'll be exactly the same for us. Now we will have an eternal glorified body.
And this will be a physical body to remember Jesus,
just like teleporting inside the building where the disciples were telling Thomas to touch Him.
[John 20:26]
Now, I don't know about you but if that happened
I would have the biggest scare ever. Well, let's continue.
Then he said to Thomas
[John 20:27]
So we will have physical bodies and we will be able to eat.
Not that we would need to because we don't need to eat again to survive.
We need to have these bodies that we have now just to stay alive.
But not with our new glorified bodies.
It's interesting that Jesus Himself ate after His resurrection.
[Luke 24:41-43] Amplified Version
Huh, how interesting is that? I'm very excited.
I just sometimes - I wonder you know what kind of food will we be eating in heaven?
If we can have food from this earth that's just temporary
and everything is part of death and decay. And still we can have some joy in delicious food.
Just imagine how the food might taste in heaven and the new earth.
I can't wait. But with our new bodies we
will not die from hunger. Sunburn.
We won't even get sunburned. We will not be subject to death
and decay as we are in this world. Or any of the other natural laws.
[Isaiah 49:10]
Now this is talking about the Millennium Kingdom. Where if you watch my previous
videos on the Book of Revelation you know the series that I covered, you will
know that Jesus will rule for a thousand years on this earth, before the judgment day starts.
And we can assume that being like this, not needing to eat or drink anything,
will carry on into the new heaven and the new earth as well.
And even though we don't need to eat there will be food in heaven.
[Revelation 22:2]
Interesting, isn't it? I wonder exactly what this tree will look like?
But your physical body will be flesh. Job also talked about this.
[Job 19:26] Amplified Version
Alright, so we've established that you will have a physical body.
Will you wear clothes? Well yes, of course.
[Revelation 7:9] Amplified Version
So your new eternal body will be a glorified body that is suited
for the new heaven and the new earth. It won't be weak anymore as we are now.
I mean, I'm slowly closing in on 40 and I can feel in the mornings when I wake up like,
oh man, I need to stretch. I just I just don't feel good.
I need to stretch and I need to work out I need to eat healthier
because I'm getting older and it's... it's harder to wake up early in the morning.
Some of you probably feel the same But with your eternal bodies you will
be able to move, talk, and do a lot of things that you did here on this earth.
But now with no corruption. Now we will all be glorified in Christ.
In our bodies we'll show it. Here on earth we get older with time.
We get worse and worse. But then, we will experience
no more pain or sickness. We will be strong.
Our bodies won't lead us into temptation anymore. And you know there will be a different type
of glory that we will see in heaven The disciples saw a glimpse of this.
[Matthew 17:1-3] Amplified Version
Wow.
Just imagine that being in heaven with these amazing eternal glorified bodies.
Seeing Jesus. His glory.
Oh man, I can't wait. But in the meantime
We still have things to do on earth. There is a reason you're here.
And it's not just you have to become a Christian and that's it.
You sit back and you don't do anything. You need to share the gospel.
There's a purpose and God will not bring you home until you are done.
So we have to run this race with endurance until the end.
In - and with - these corrupted bodies that are sickly and just grow weaker.
But we have to do it. And we have to do it in a way where
we - our aim - is to be more like Jesus Christ. Man, I'm so happy just sitting here talking
to you guys about this. Thinking about heaven
and just seeing the years that are left. We don't know when God is gonna take us home.
But I have so much joy even though I am still in this world.
Because I know that God wants me here and it's the same for all of you.
So what are you doing with the time that He's given you?
Are you using it to bring Him glory?
Are you running your race the way that God wants you to?
To help you to do it - to grow spiritually stronger in Christ
