Waiting for home

15:46 Physical life is the platform for spiritual life. 15:47 Human life was reduced to slavery and the soul-ruled earthly realm through Adam’s fall but is now awakened to lordship in the heavenly realm of spiritual realities through the knowledge of our co-resurrection with Christ. ([See Col 3:1-11.] We theologically created the idea of mankind being “sinful by nature” as if humans are flawed by design. In fact it is a distorted mindset that we inherited from Adam that Jesus had to free us from. “Your indifferent mindset alienated you from God into a lifestyle of annoyances, hardships, and labors, sponsored by the law of sin and death that lodged in your bodies hosting a foreign influence, foreign to your design; just like a virus that would attach itself to a person.” Col 1:21 There is nothing wrong with our design or salvation, we were thinking wrong. [See Isa 55:8-11, Eph 4:17, 18 and also Eph 2:1-11.]) 15:48 The reduced state of the individual left its mark on mankind as being earthly; now the redeemed state of mankind confirms their origin in God and marks their new heavenly life. 15:49 Just as we were once defined by the flesh [our earthly image] we are now defined by our spirit [our heavenly] image. 15:50 Flesh and blood has a sell-by date; the bodies you live in now will not last forever. 15:51 1Ponder this mystery, I want to show you something that you have never seen before: 2no one will sleep; 3we will all experience exactly the same change. (In other words, 1idou musterion, Look! A Mystery! And 2pantes ou koimethesometha, means no one will sleep; and 3pantes de allangesometha; everyone will be changed. See 1 Thessalonians 4:1
