Have you ever wondered what it
will be like when your body dies and you go on to heaven? Well,
according to the Word, when that time comes, this flesh and blood tent
you live in will die, but you won't feel a thing. You'll just take off
the cloak of your flesh, lay it down and go to a better place.
Believers
who have died and come back say that they have no sensation of loss—no
sting. Their minds stay intact, and they even have arms and legs, but
they are spirit and not flesh. One man said he couldn't even tell he
wasn't in his body until he tried to grasp something. His hand would
just go right through the material object. He was spirit and not flesh.
According
to the Apostle Paul, to be absent from the body is to be present with
God (2 Corinthians 5:1). So, when God calls you home, you'll just
abandon your fleshly body and go to be with Him forever.
It's interesting though. God doesn't even refer to our old, abandoned bodies as being dead. He says they're just asleep.
Why? Because He knows that just as sleep is temporary, so is the death
of the body. He's planned a day when our sleeping bodies will be
awakened and raised up in glory just like Jesus' was.
Hallelujah! There's coming a day when not only our spirits have victory over death, our physical bodies do too!
Death is not the "end" for you. It's only a change to a better place!
