Now
we know that if the earthly ten we live in is destroyed,
We
have a Building from God, and Eternal House in Heaven,
Not
built by human hands.
Meanwhile
we groan, longing to be clothed with our Heavenly Dwelling,
Because
when we are clothed, we will not be found NAKED.
For
while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened,
Because
we do not wish to be unclothed
But
to be clothed with our Heavenly Dwelling,
So
that what is mortal may be SWALLOWED UP BY LIFE.
Now
it is God Who has made us for this very purpose
And
has given us THE SPIRIT as a DEPOSIT,
GUARANTEEING
what is to come.
Therefore
we are always confident and know
That
as long as we are a home in the body we are away from the Lord.
We
live by Faith and not by sight.
We
are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body
And
at home with the Lord.
So
we make it our goal to please Him,
whether
we are at home in the body or away from it.
For
we all must appear before th JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST,
That
each one may receive what is due him
For
the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Since,
then, we know what it is TO FEAR THE LORD.
We
try to persuade men.
What
we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your
conscience.
We
are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,
But
are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us,
So
that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen
Rather
than in what is in the HEART.
I
we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God;
If
we are in our right mind, it is for you.
For
Christ's Love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for
all,
AND
THEREFORE ALL DIED.
And
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for
themselves
But
for Him Who died for them and was RAISED AGAIN.
So
from now on we regard NO ONE from a worldly point of view.
Though
we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
Therefore,
IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST,
He
is a New Creation; the OLD has gone, the NEW has come!
All
this is from God, Who reconciled us to Himself through Christ
And
gave us the ministry of RECONCILIATION:
That
God was reconciling the world to Himself IN CHRIST,
Not
counting men's SINS against them.
And
He has committed to us THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION.
We
are therefore Christ's AMBASSADORS,
As
though God were making His APPEAL through us.
We
IMPLORE you on Christ's behalf: Be RECONCILED TO GOD.
God
made Him Who HAD NO SIN to be SIN for us,
So
that IN HIM we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
(2
Corinthians 5)
As
God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's Grace in Vain.
For
He says,
'In
the TIME OF MY FAVOR I heard you,
And
IN THE DAY OF SALVATION I helped you.'
I
tell you, NOW IS THE TIME OF GOD'S FAVOR,
Now
IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. (2 Corinthians 6:1-2)
The
day is coming soon, when
mortality will be swallowed up by LIFE,
For
those found to be IN CHRIST.
Those
found to be IN CHRIST will then be clothed with and IMMORTAL BODY,
And
Eternal Body like that of Christ Himself.
[We
know that when He appears we shall be like Him,
For
we shall see Him as He is.
Everyone
who has this hope in Him PURIFIES HIMSELF just as He is pure.
1
John 3:2-3.]
I
pray that those who read this message are IN CHRIST
And
will be prepared to meet Him as His RETURN,
And
will be swallowed up by His LIFE.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
