2 Corinthians 5 discusses the believer's future heavenly body, the judgment seat of Christ, and living with purpose until that time. Specifically: 1) Believers will receive an eternal heavenly body to replace their earthly tent upon death. 2) All believers will appear before the bema seat judgment of Christ to receive recognition for fruitful works done in obedience to God. 3) While waiting for their heavenly body, believers should live to please God and not be attached to this world, as their true home and purpose are in heaven.

4. 2 Corinthians 5:1, Our Glory
• NAU 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that
if the earthly tent which is our house is
torn down, we have a building from God,
a house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens.
• This life passes rapidly away, what is our
relationship to it? Or;
• “Your Attitude Toward the World”

5. 2 Corinthians 5:1, Worldly Attitude
“Your Attitude Toward the World”
• Dr. David R. Reagan “Stop for a moment and think. What is
your attitude about this world? Are you enthusiastic about it?
Or do you feel uncomfortable with it? Do you love the world?
Or do you often feel alienated from it? Are you at home in this
world? Or do you feel like a stranger?
• There's an old Negro spiritual song that always challenges me
to examine my attitude toward the world. The first verse goes
as follows:4
• This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through.
My treasures are laid up, Somewhere beyond the blue.
• The angels beckon me, From heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home, In this world anymore.
• Do those words express your feeling about this world? What
word would you use to summarize your feeling? Zealous?
Anxious? Enamored? Estranged? Are you comfortable or do
you feel ill-at-ease?”

6. 2 Corinthians 5:1
Our Bodies or Our Place?
• NAU 2 Corinthians 5:1 …the earthly tent…torn
down, we have a building from God, a house not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
• Almost all the commentators assume that this is
about our present body and our resurrection
body. Not all of them do. Some think that this is
about our present body, vs. our “mansion in
heaven”. Not our resurrection bodies.
• Because the text says “we have [indicative present active]
a building [building, edifice] from God”, and we don’t
“have” our resurrection bodies yet.

7. 2 Corinthians 5:1
Our Bodies or Our Place?
• NAU John 14: 2 "In My Father's house are
many dwelling places; if it were not so, I
would have told you; for I go to prepare a
place [topos, place] for you. 3 "If I go and prepare
a place [topos, place] for you…
• NAU Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in
heaven…
• This fits in with the last part of chapter 5, in
that we are ambassadors now in a foreign
land.
• It also integrates with the question about
dead saints interim bodies (pre-rapture).

8. Our Heavenly Body
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
• gracethrufaith.com, “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you (John 14:2).
• Recently I had someone object to my belief that Jesus was referring to our eternal home in the New Jerusalem when He said this. This person’s opinion is that Jesus was talking about our post resurrection body and he cited 2 Cor. 5:1-2 in support of it.
• When I looked up the Greek text of John 14:2, I found that the word “rooms” (mansions in the KJV) is a translation of a Greek word that means “a dwelling, or abode”.
• To be fair, the word “dwelling” also appears in some English translations of 2 Cor. 5:2 but it’s translated from a different Greek word. It’s also clear that Paul was speaking metaphorically in 2 Cor. 5 because he referred to our earthly body as a tent (temporary)
but our heavenly body as a house (permanent).
• For me the clincher is that in John 14:2 Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for us. The Greek word translated “place” can mean anything from a marked off space to an inhabited city, but is never used to refer to a body. This means Jesus was going to
prepare a physical location for us to live in.
• I don’t think the person who posted the objection was persuaded to my point of view, and I know I wasn’t persuaded to his, but that’s not the point of this study. What I want to do is explore 2 Cor. 5:1-10 in a little more depth because reading it again
reminded me of some really interesting information about what’s in store for us. Let’s take it a verse or two at a time.
• An Earthly Tent And A Heavenly House
• For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands (2 Cor. 5:1).
• Right away we can see that Paul was using terms for dwelling places to represent our bodies. Most of us don’t live in tents, and even if we do our earthly home does not have to be destroyed before we can go to our heavenly one. But our earthly body, which is
the temporary home of our spirit, has to give way to our heavenly body in order for our spirit to receive its permanent home. For most, the earthly body will die and return to dust, and the heavenly body will replace it at the resurrection. But for one group, the
earthly body will simply be transformed into the heavenly one at the rapture of the Church (1 Cor. 15:51-53).
• Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. (2 Cor. 5:2-3)
• When believers die their spirits go directly to be with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:6-8, Phil 1:22-24), while their earthly bodies are buried in the ground and quickly return to dust. At the time of their resurrection they will be given new heavenly bodies while we who are
still living will be changed from mortal to immortal and together we’ll all go with the Lord to His Father’s house (1 Thes. 4:16-17).
• In the mean time these spirits feel like a part of them is missing, as if they are naked (Greek: without a body). They long for the time when they’ll be clothed in their heavenly bodies. I believe this is because we can only experience the full extent of the blessings
of our eternal life as physical beings.
• For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life (2 Cor. 5:4).
• In this verse Paul added clothing as another metaphor. As physical beings we don’t look forward to dying, because that will be like being naked. What we look forward to is being raptured, because that will be like having our old set of worn out clothing
instantly changed into a new and much better set that will never wear out. Richer fabric, perfect fit, extremely comfortable; clothes we have always been meant to wear.
• The Old Has Gone, The New Has Come
• Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come (2 cor. 5:5).
• Fashioning something is the process of making it into something else, usually for a specific purpose. “He took a piece of wood and fashioned it into a leg for the table he was building.” It’s no longer just an ordinary piece of wood. It has been changed into
something better, something that serves a specific purpose.
• God began with us as we were and through the cross fashioned us into someone else. “When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive in Christ” (Ephes 2:13). His very purpose in doing this is so we can be
clothed in our heavenly body.
• The craftsman will never again think of the table leg as a random piece of wood. He now thinks of it as something he made. In the same way God will never again think of you as you used to be. He now thinks of you as a new creation in Christ. To Him, the old
you has gone and the new you has come (2 Cor. 5:17). Then He put His Spirit in you as a deposit guaranteeing that this will happen.
• Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:6-8).
• The confidence Paul spoke of comes from knowing that even though we are still in our earthly body, our destiny is to be with the Lord in our heavenly body. Therefore we live by what we believe to be true, not by what we see. No earthly event can shake us
because by faith we know what is coming. No matter who is in office, no matter what laws get passed, no matter how much of its value our money has lost, no matter what this dark and dying world thinks of us, we know what the outcome will be because the
one who fashioned us for this very purpose is God.
• Here Comes The Judge
• So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad (2
Cor. 5:9-10).
• Whether we are dead and gone or alive and well our goal is to please God. The judgment seat of Christ is also called the bema seat judgment. (The Greek word “bema” simply means “judgment seat”.)
• This judgment will take place after the rapture/resurrection so it doesn’t have anything to do with our salvation. Everyone there will be saved and in the presence of the Lord forever.
• It will concern what we did for the Lord during our Christian life here on earth. In1 Cor. 3:10-15 Paul said the Lord will divide the things we did into two groups. One group will be compared to gold, silver and precious gems; things that have value. In 2 Cor.
5:10 these things are called “good”. The other group will be compared to wood, hay, and stubble, things only suitable for burning in the judgment fire. These are called “bad” in 2 Cor. 5:10.
• In his summary statement of this judgment Paul said, “If it (what we’ve done) is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames” (1 Cor. 3:15).
• Taken together, these two passages confirm that the judgment seat of Christ is not for the purpose of reviewing every good or bad thing we’ve ever done, it’s for the purpose of identifying which of the things we’ve done qualify for special recognition.
• In John 15:5-6 Jesus said if we remain in Him and He in us we will bear much fruit; apart from Him we can do nothing. He said those who don’t remain in Him are like branches that are thrown away and wither. Such branches are thrown into the fire and burned
up.
• Some see this as a passage that denies OSAS, thinking that if we don’t remain in Jesus He will throw us into the fires of judgment. They don’t understand that Jesus wasn’t talking about salvation here because salvation is not a fruit bearing event. It’s what we
do after being saved that determines whether we bear fruit or not. He was talking about what we do with our life as a believer.
• In order to bear fruit as a believer we have to remain “in Him”. That means we have to see Him as our Lord, not just our Savior, and submit to His direction for our life. By remaining in us Jesus was referring to the supernatural power He makes available to
believers. Many of us have experienced this power when by yielding our will to his and placing the outcome of an action in His hands, we’ve enjoyed a result that surpassed our human capacity to produce. Adopting this as a lifestyle will make our Christian life
fruitful beyond anything we could have done on our own.
• In contrast, going off on our own can produce nothing of value to the Kingdom. No matter how great the results of our actions look in human terms, the Lord sees the things we do apart from His guidance and His strength as nothing more than withered
branches, suitable only for the fire.
• When I compare John 15:5-6 to 1 Cor. 3:10-15 and 2 Cor. 5:10 I conclude that when we’re before the judgment seat of Christ it won’t be the results we produce as believers that will matter. It’s the motives behind them that will be judged. Things done at the
Lord’s direction and in His strength will be like gold, silver and precious gems in his eyes. Those done out of our own volition and in our own strength will have no value.
• This explains Paul’s admonition in 1 Cor. 4:5.
• “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.”
• It also explains why discovering God’s will for our lives requires that we first offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, and that we stop conforming to the pattern of this world, allowing ourselves instead to be transformed by the renewing of
our mind (Romans 12:2). Only by doing that can we remain in Him and He in us.
• In summary, there’s a heavenly body awaiting us. It’s the permanent home for our spirit, to replace this temporary earthly one. God has fashioned us into a new creation for the express purpose of inhabiting it, and sent his Son to die for our sins to make it
possible. Or as some one said, “The man from Heaven became outfitted for Earth so men from Earth could be outfitted for heaven.” Selah 03-01-14.

11. Three Bodies?, gracethrufaith.com
• Q. I was watching a well known teacher on TV today
and he said a fascinating thing; Quoting 2 Corinthians
5: 1-5, he explained that we will have up to three
bodies. The body we have on earth which is
corruptible, a second temporary body when we go to
Heaven if we die before the Rapture and a third,
perfect body which we will receive at our
resurrection. Apparently those who go in the rapture
will only get two of these, the first and the third. Have
you ever heard of this?
• A. I’m not sure I understand 2 Cor. 5:1-5 as saying
we’ll have 3 bodies, but I do believe those who die
before the rapture will have some kind identifiable
presence during the time between shedding their old
earthly body and receiving their new heavenly one.

the rich man were all visible to each other. Second,
how could Lazarus receive comfort and how could the

formless spirits? Third, does a spirit have fingers or a
tongue as Luke 16:24 indicate? And fourth, can spirits
be limited to specific locations as Luke 16:26 describes?

skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of
his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of
the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until

• NAU 1 Corinthians 15:55 "O DEATH, WHERE IS

STING?”

21. • gotquestions.org; “Answer: Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion regarding what happens
after death. Some hold that after death, everyone “sleeps” until the final judgment, after which everyone will be sent to
heaven or hell. Others believe that at the moment of death, people are instantly judged and sent to their eternal
destinations. Still others claim that when people die, their souls/spirits are sent to a “temporary” heaven or hell, to await
the final resurrection, the final judgment, and then the finality of their eternal destination. So, what exactly does the
Bible say happens after death?
• First, for the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven,
because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death is to be “away
from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). However, passages such as 1
Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 describe believers being resurrected and given glorified bodies. If
believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, what is the purpose of this resurrection? It seems that while the
souls/spirits of believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, the physical body remains in the grave “sleeping.”
At the resurrection of believers, the physical body is resurrected, glorified, and then reunited with the soul/spirit. This
reunited and glorified body-soul-spirit will be the possession of believers for eternity in the new heavens and new earth
(Revelation 21-22).
• Second, for those who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior, death means everlasting punishment. However, similar to
the destiny of believers, unbelievers also seem to be sent immediately to a temporary holding place, to await their final
resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny. Luke 16:22-23 describes a rich man being tormented immediately after
death. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all the unbelieving dead being resurrected, judged at the great white throne, and
then being cast into the lake of fire. Unbelievers, then, are not sent to hell (the lake of fire) immediately after death, but
rather are in a temporary realm of judgment and condemnation. However, even though unbelievers are not instantly
sent to the lake of fire, their immediate fate after death is not a pleasant one. The rich man cried out, “I am in agony in
this fire” (Luke 16:24).
• Therefore, after death, a person resides in a “temporary” heaven or hell. After this temporary realm, at the final
resurrection, a person’s eternal destiny will not change. The precise “location” of that eternal destiny is what changes.
Believers will ultimately be granted entrance into the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1). Unbelievers will

Spirit, for God's glory, it will be rewarded.

that salvation is because of what Jesus did for us,
not what we did right or wrong;

GotQuestions.org
• GotQuestions.org, “Answer: …There are two Greek words
which are translated “new” in the Bible. The first, neos, refers
to something that has just been made, but there are already
many others in existence just like it. The word translated
“new” in this verse is the word kainos, which means
“something just made which is unlike anything else in
existence.” In Christ, we are made an entirely new creation,
just as God created the heavens and the earth originally—He
made them out of nothing, and so He does with us. He does
not merely clean up our old selves; He makes an entirely new
self. When we are in Christ, we are “partakers of the divine
nature” (2 Peter 1:4 KJV). God Himself, in the person of His
Holy Spirit, takes up residence in our hearts. We are in Christ
and He is in us. In Christ, we are regenerated, renewed, and
born again…”

49. An Amazing Last Will and Testament
The Christ in Prophecy Journal
• www.lamblion.us/ , “…I received a letter from a law firm in
Chicago informing me that Lamb & Lion Ministries had been
named as a beneficiary in a will.
• A copy of the will was enclosed with the letter. It began by
stating that the testator had no living relatives. He then
specified that he wanted gifts of $30,000 each to be given to
three friends whom he named. Next, he stated that he
wanted $2,500 to be spent on a party in his honor at a local
bar, with drinks on the house!
• It was at that point that I began to wonder how in the world
our ministry could possibly be one of his beneficiaries!
• My puzzlement became even greater when I turned to the
next page. It contained a list of the groups who were to
receive the remainder of his estate. Several Catholic charities
were mentioned, followed by a

• long list of liberal organizations, from the ACLU to a Harvard
Embryo Research Center.
• At that point, I was really perplexed at how we could possibly be
named in such a last will and testament.
• Then, I turned the page — and there was a new will, dated
three years later.
• It began the same way, with gifts to the same three friends. But
from that point on, the will was radically different. For, you see,
the next statement was a repudiation of the party at the bar.
"Just forget about it," he wrote.
• Then came the listing of the beneficiaries. There were only
three — two Messianic ministries and our ministry.
• I immediately realized that I was holding in my hands absolute
evidence of the existence of God and His miracle working
power. It was obvious that during the three years between the
two wills, this man had met Jesus, and his life and values had
been totally transformed.”

beheaded for it. We have a different
mission/commission. Christians are ambassadors
to the secular world, not rebels to it. Keep praying
for America, vote wisely for the most moral
candidate, and keep preaching the forgiveness of
sins through the Lord Jesus Christ. The world
needs to hear that their sins can be paid for, and
they can be reconciled to God, through the shed
blood of Jesus Christ.

59. Our Heavenly Body
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
• gracethrufaith.com, “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you (John 14:2).
• Recently I had someone object to my belief that Jesus was referring to our eternal home in the New Jerusalem when He said this. This person’s opinion is that Jesus was talking about our post resurrection body and he cited 2 Cor. 5:1-2 in support of it.
• When I looked up the Greek text of John 14:2, I found that the word “rooms” (mansions in the KJV) is a translation of a Greek word that means “a dwelling, or abode”.
• To be fair, the word “dwelling” also appears in some English translations of 2 Cor. 5:2 but it’s translated from a different Greek word. It’s also clear that Paul was speaking metaphorically in 2 Cor. 5 because he referred to our earthly body as a tent (temporary)
but our heavenly body as a house (permanent).
• For me the clincher is that in John 14:2 Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for us. The Greek word translated “place” can mean anything from a marked off space to an inhabited city, but is never used to refer to a body. This means Jesus was going to
prepare a physical location for us to live in.
• I don’t think the person who posted the objection was persuaded to my point of view, and I know I wasn’t persuaded to his, but that’s not the point of this study. What I want to do is explore 2 Cor. 5:1-10 in a little more depth because reading it again
reminded me of some really interesting information about what’s in store for us. Let’s take it a verse or two at a time.
• An Earthly Tent And A Heavenly House
• For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands (2 Cor. 5:1).
• Right away we can see that Paul was using terms for dwelling places to represent our bodies. Most of us don’t live in tents, and even if we do our earthly home does not have to be destroyed before we can go to our heavenly one. But our earthly body, which is
the temporary home of our spirit, has to give way to our heavenly body in order for our spirit to receive its permanent home. For most, the earthly body will die and return to dust, and the heavenly body will replace it at the resurrection. But for one group, the
earthly body will simply be transformed into the heavenly one at the rapture of the Church (1 Cor. 15:51-53).
• Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. (2 Cor. 5:2-3)
• When believers die their spirits go directly to be with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:6-8, Phil 1:22-24), while their earthly bodies are buried in the ground and quickly return to dust. At the time of their resurrection they will be given new heavenly bodies while we who are
still living will be changed from mortal to immortal and together we’ll all go with the Lord to His Father’s house (1 Thes. 4:16-17).
• In the mean time these spirits feel like a part of them is missing, as if they are naked (Greek: without a body). They long for the time when they’ll be clothed in their heavenly bodies. I believe this is because we can only experience the full extent of the blessings
of our eternal life as physical beings.
• For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life (2 Cor. 5:4).
• In this verse Paul added clothing as another metaphor. As physical beings we don’t look forward to dying, because that will be like being naked. What we look forward to is being raptured, because that will be like having our old set of worn out clothing
instantly changed into a new and much better set that will never wear out. Richer fabric, perfect fit, extremely comfortable; clothes we have always been meant to wear.
• The Old Has Gone, The New Has Come
• Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come (2 cor. 5:5).
• Fashioning something is the process of making it into something else, usually for a specific purpose. “He took a piece of wood and fashioned it into a leg for the table he was building.” It’s no longer just an ordinary piece of wood. It has been changed into
something better, something that serves a specific purpose.
• God began with us as we were and through the cross fashioned us into someone else. “When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive in Christ” (Ephes 2:13). His very purpose in doing this is so we can be
clothed in our heavenly body.
• The craftsman will never again think of the table leg as a random piece of wood. He now thinks of it as something he made. In the same way God will never again think of you as you used to be. He now thinks of you as a new creation in Christ. To Him, the old
you has gone and the new you has come (2 Cor. 5:17). Then He put His Spirit in you as a deposit guaranteeing that this will happen.
• Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:6-8).
• The confidence Paul spoke of comes from knowing that even though we are still in our earthly body, our destiny is to be with the Lord in our heavenly body. Therefore we live by what we believe to be true, not by what we see. No earthly event can shake us
because by faith we know what is coming. No matter who is in office, no matter what laws get passed, no matter how much of its value our money has lost, no matter what this dark and dying world thinks of us, we know what the outcome will be because the
one who fashioned us for this very purpose is God.
• Here Comes The Judge
• So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad (2
Cor. 5:9-10).
• Whether we are dead and gone or alive and well our goal is to please God. The judgment seat of Christ is also called the bema seat judgment. (The Greek word “bema” simply means “judgment seat”.)
• This judgment will take place after the rapture/resurrection so it doesn’t have anything to do with our salvation. Everyone there will be saved and in the presence of the Lord forever.
• It will concern what we did for the Lord during our Christian life here on earth. In1 Cor. 3:10-15 Paul said the Lord will divide the things we did into two groups. One group will be compared to gold, silver and precious gems; things that have value. In 2 Cor.
5:10 these things are called “good”. The other group will be compared to wood, hay, and stubble, things only suitable for burning in the judgment fire. These are called “bad” in 2 Cor. 5:10.
• In his summary statement of this judgment Paul said, “If it (what we’ve done) is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames” (1 Cor. 3:15).
• Taken together, these two passages confirm that the judgment seat of Christ is not for the purpose of reviewing every good or bad thing we’ve ever done, it’s for the purpose of identifying which of the things we’ve done qualify for special recognition.
• In John 15:5-6 Jesus said if we remain in Him and He in us we will bear much fruit; apart from Him we can do nothing. He said those who don’t remain in Him are like branches that are thrown away and wither. Such branches are thrown into the fire and burned
up.
• Some see this as a passage that denies OSAS, thinking that if we don’t remain in Jesus He will throw us into the fires of judgment. They don’t understand that Jesus wasn’t talking about salvation here because salvation is not a fruit bearing event. It’s what we
do after being saved that determines whether we bear fruit or not. He was talking about what we do with our life as a believer.
• In order to bear fruit as a believer we have to remain “in Him”. That means we have to see Him as our Lord, not just our Savior, and submit to His direction for our life. By remaining in us Jesus was referring to the supernatural power He makes available to
believers. Many of us have experienced this power when by yielding our will to his and placing the outcome of an action in His hands, we’ve enjoyed a result that surpassed our human capacity to produce. Adopting this as a lifestyle will make our Christian life
fruitful beyond anything we could have done on our own.
• In contrast, going off on our own can produce nothing of value to the Kingdom. No matter how great the results of our actions look in human terms, the Lord sees the things we do apart from His guidance and His strength as nothing more than withered
branches, suitable only for the fire.
• When I compare John 15:5-6 to 1 Cor. 3:10-15 and 2 Cor. 5:10 I conclude that when we’re before the judgment seat of Christ it won’t be the results we produce as believers that will matter. It’s the motives behind them that will be judged. Things done at the
Lord’s direction and in His strength will be like gold, silver and precious gems in his eyes. Those done out of our own volition and in our own strength will have no value.
• This explains Paul’s admonition in 1 Cor. 4:5.
• “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.”
• It also explains why discovering God’s will for our lives requires that we first offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, and that we stop conforming to the pattern of this world, allowing ourselves instead to be transformed by the renewing of
our mind (Romans 12:2). Only by doing that can we remain in Him and He in us.
• In summary, there’s a heavenly body awaiting us. It’s the permanent home for our spirit, to replace this temporary earthly one. God has fashioned us into a new creation for the express purpose of inhabiting it, and sent his Son to die for our sins to make it
possible. Or as some one said, “The man from Heaven became outfitted for Earth so men from Earth could be outfitted for heaven.” Selah 03-01-14.

60. • gotquestions.org; “Answer: Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion regarding what happens
after death. Some hold that after death, everyone “sleeps” until the final judgment, after which everyone will be sent to
heaven or hell. Others believe that at the moment of death, people are instantly judged and sent to their eternal
destinations. Still others claim that when people die, their souls/spirits are sent to a “temporary” heaven or hell, to await
the final resurrection, the final judgment, and then the finality of their eternal destination. So, what exactly does the
Bible say happens after death?
• First, for the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven,
because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death is to be “away
from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). However, passages such as 1
Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 describe believers being resurrected and given glorified bodies. If
believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, what is the purpose of this resurrection? It seems that while the
souls/spirits of believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, the physical body remains in the grave “sleeping.”
At the resurrection of believers, the physical body is resurrected, glorified, and then reunited with the soul/spirit. This
reunited and glorified body-soul-spirit will be the possession of believers for eternity in the new heavens and new earth
(Revelation 21-22).
• Second, for those who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior, death means everlasting punishment. However, similar to
the destiny of believers, unbelievers also seem to be sent immediately to a temporary holding place, to await their final
resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny. Luke 16:22-23 describes a rich man being tormented immediately after
death. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all the unbelieving dead being resurrected, judged at the great white throne, and
then being cast into the lake of fire. Unbelievers, then, are not sent to hell (the lake of fire) immediately after death, but
rather are in a temporary realm of judgment and condemnation. However, even though unbelievers are not instantly
sent to the lake of fire, their immediate fate after death is not a pleasant one. The rich man cried out, “I am in agony in
this fire” (Luke 16:24).
• Therefore, after death, a person resides in a “temporary” heaven or hell. After this temporary realm, at the final
resurrection, a person’s eternal destiny will not change. The precise “location” of that eternal destiny is what changes.
Believers will ultimately be granted entrance into the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1). Unbelievers will

• Did someone engrave the Ten Commandments, in ancient Hebrew, on a New Mexico rock 2,000 years
ago?
• The Los Lunas RockIn 1871, Indians showed New Mexico rancher Franz Huning a basalt boulder on his
land. The boulder had strange writing on it. The Indians told him that the rock, with its writing, had been
there long before their tribes ever came to the area. Scholars were brought in to look at the rock. They
identified the writing as paleo Hebrew script of the style in use between 500 and 100 B.C. What did the
engraving say on what has come to be known as the Los Lunas Rock? It was an engraving of the Ten
Commandments. But who could have made it?
• There are additional finds that are even more astonishing and seem to make the answer obvious. Above
the rock is a flat mountain top. On the mountain top are ancient ruins of stone structures that seem to
be designed for defense. Its design has been compared to the ruins of Lachish, in southern Judea.
Another Hebrew inscription on the mountaintop names the God of Israel as "our Mighty One." An
astronomical petroglyph indicates a partial solar eclipse that is known to have taken place in 107 B.C.
This coincides with an archaeologist's dating of the engravings to about 2,000 years ago.
