Presence
2 Corinthians 5:5-8
5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
“Blessed assurance Jesus is mine” ... part of the Spirit of God.
A gift so secure … always to endure … there to accept or not
Changing your life … forever to be … placing your heart in the Lord’s
Prepared in the time … through Christ refined … in the ark invited on board.
“To be absent from the body ... and present with the Lord”
while my flesh is still existing?
Is that possible my friend in this life temporal?
To become nobody ... for the Glory of the Lord and so persisting
that death of self is the end ... of security in Eternal.
