Man now lives in a state aptly described as one of “sin and misery” or one of vileness or humiliation! The things we want to do, we don't. The things we don't want to do, we do. The animals whom Adam named now fear us. Change and decay touches everything. We know of war, sickness, tragedy, suffering, disease, disaster, immoral passions, immoral desires, sick lusts, sick people, murder, violence, neglect, and outright rebellion.
In the midst of all of this, notice that God gives us promise: someday God will transform our bodies. This all involves our future. Our future will include the conforming of our bodies to Christ’s glory. |
