The Holy Spirit who is dwelling in us now is God's guarantee that one day we, as sons of God and brothers of Christ, will live and move and have our being in the fullness of the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

The Spirit who will give eternal life to our mortal body already is dwelling in us.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken [make alive] your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Romans 8:11)

If we, through the wisdom and power of the Spirit, put to death the deeds of our sinful body, we will attain immortality in the fullness of the Spirit of Christ.

But if we continue to live in the appetites of our flesh and adamic nature we will die spiritually, thus slaying our own resurrection.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:13)

Here is the absolute righteousness of God. Whatever we sow we shall reap. If we sow to the Spirit of God by praying, reading the Scriptures, resisting Satan, confessing and turning away from our sins, giving, serving, gathering together on a regular basis with fervent disciples (as possible), obeying God in every detail, we will attain the early resurrection which is from among the dead.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7,8)

But if we spend our time and strength in eating, sleeping, playing, working, and reproducing, giving a minor role in our life to the things of Christ, all our works will be burned away by the Divine fire. Our spirit may be saved in the Day of Christ but we will be a naked spirit having little inheritance in the Kingdom of God. If indeed we are saved into God's Kingdom we may be required to begin again as a small child, having no memory of our previous life.

Make no mistake! Every one of us shall appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ in order that we may receive the things done in our body, whether they have been good or evil.

Many would teach us today that we need have no fear of the Judgment Seat of Christ because by grace and faith we will be raised unto glory as the result of our trust in Christ's righteousness. Such teachers are deceived and are spreading deception. Because of their teaching the believers of our day are living below the standard set by the Scriptures and shall be rewarded accordingly in the day of resurrection. This is the teaching of the Scriptures.

Flee from such teachers and give yourself to Christ that you may become a new creation in Him.

To be continued.
