Everything in the heavens has a body, and so does everything on earth. But each one is very different from all the others. The sun isn’t like the moon; the moon isn’t like the stars, and each star is different. That’s how it will be when our bodies are raised to life. These bodies will die, but the bodies that are raised will live forever. These ugly and weak bodies will become beautiful and strong. As surely as there are physical bodies, there are spiritual bodies. And our physical bodies will be changed into spiritual bodies.
1 Corinthians 15:40-44 - CEV
There are some things you can do here on earth to change your body. Diet and exercise are helpful in shaping and firming parts of your body, but they are but temporary fixes. Even the most diligent body builder will one day die and his body will begin turning back to dust! It is a fact of life that death will come to all of us.
But those who give their hearts to Jesus Christ on this earth are promised a new body that will be beautiful and strong. Your body here may be “ugly and weak.” But in Heaven no one is ugly, and no one is weak!
It is of some earthly value to go to the gym here on earth. But it won’t last forever! Giving your heart to Jesus here on earth will guarantee a New Body forever in Heaven!
“Lord Jesus, bring thoughts of Heaven to my mind and help me be ready for Your return, or my departure from this earth, every moment of every day! What a Glory it will be to see You “Face to Face!” Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.”
