“So, how is Your Earthly Tent?”

“So, how is Your Earthly Tent?”

For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in Heaven, an ETERNAL body made for us by God Himself and NOT by human hands.  2nd Corinthians 5:1

So, how is YOUR EARTHLY TENT?  I am OLD, and my EARTHLY TENT lets me know, every morning just how OLD I am.  And I am SO looking forward to my PERMANENT MOVE to Heaven, where I will have a BRAND-NEW BODY, one that is FASHIONED by the CREATOR, Himself, THE ALMIGHTY GOD. 

The Apostle Paul tells us that, we GROW WEARY in our PRESENT bodies, and long to put on our Heavenly bodies like NEW CLOTHING. And we WILL put on Heavenly bodies; we WILL NOT be spirits WITHOUT bodies. And LIVING in this EARTHLY TENT, we GROAN and SIGH, but it’s NOT that we want to die in order to get RID of these bodies that clothe us.

But we want to put on our NEW BODIES so that these WORN OUT, EARTHLY TENTS will be SWALLOWED UP by LIFE.  NOT just life but ETERNAL LIFE in Heaven, which GOD Himself has PREPARED US for and He has GIVEN His HOLY SPIRIT as a GUARANTEE.  Though we KNOW that as long as we LIVE in these BODIES, we are NOT at HOME with the Lord.  Remember we LIVE by BELIEVING and NOT by SEEING. 

We are FULLY CONFIDENT, and would rather be AWAY from these EARTHLY TENTS, when that happens, we will FINALLY be at HOME with the Lord. What a TIME that will be!! Whether we are HERE in THIS BODY or AWAY from this BODY, our GOAL is to PLEASE GOD!! We MUST ALL STAND BEFORE CHRIST to be JUDGED.  We will RECEIVE WHATEVER we DESERVE for the GOOD or EVIL we have DONE in our EARTHLY TENT. So, HOW IS YOUR EARTHLY TENT?  Are you READY for the JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST?

Here is WHAT you MUST DO to RECEIVE HEAVEN as your ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE, with a NEW BODY that is FULLY EQUIPPED for ALL ETERNITY.  When the HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD visits you, you must ACCEPT His invitation and ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY Son, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED. And was RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN making Intercession for YOU before GOD.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and RECEIVE a NEW BODY and GET RID of YOUR OLD, SINFUL EARTHLY TENT. And ACCEPT WHATEVER YOU DESERVE at the JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST JESUS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can!! He’s WAITING and COMING SOON !!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIN
