Unlike our body on earth, our heavenly body will reveal what we are in our inner personality.

If you, although a Christian, are not following the Spirit of God, are not becoming a new creation in Christ, then unrighteousness, spiritual uncleanness, disobedience to God, hate, malice, misery, bitterness, impatience, evil tendencies, treachery, stubbornness, timidity, self-indulgence, self-centeredness, self-will, unkindness, selfishness, are being added to your robe, your body from Heaven, your crown.

The body that clothes your resurrected frame will reveal all these things to the onlooker. You will be viewed with disgust. Your role in the Kingdom, if you are allowed to enter the Kingdom, will be minimal.

You are going to reap precisely what you are sowing today.

I hope everyone who reads these words takes me seriously for this is what the Scripture teaches. It's your future we are dealing with here!

Here is the perfect justice of God.

However, the love of God has made a provision for us. We can wash our robe in the blood of the Lamb.

When you confess a sin, as the Holy Spirit guides you, the Lord washes your garment in His blood.

Let's say you tell a lie. When it comes to your attention confess to the Lord that you have told a lie. When you take this action the Lord will wash your robe in His own blood. Then it will not appear in your house from Heaven.

The Spirit of God will lead you into the sexual fantasies hidden in your heart. Don't be afraid to tell God all that is there (He already knows anyway). But you must confess your imaginations and actions and judge them as sin. When you do God is faithful and righteous to forgive your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

The practice of continuing confession and repentance will lead you at last to the first resurrection, the resurrection of the royal priesthood.

Then as God brings you into various situations and you conquer your worldliness, lusts, and self-will through the help that Christ gives you, you will add virtue to your body before the Throne of God—that with which you will be clothed in the Day of Resurrection.

However, if you do not confess and forsake your sins your robe will remain filthy. You will be clothed with corruption and filthiness in the Day of Resurrection, not with the incorruptible resurrection Life of Christ.

Let the filthy be filthy still!

All of us must face God's judgment. We can go through it now by judging ourselves and confessing our sins and thereby attain the first resurrection, the resurrection to life as a member of the royal priesthood.

Or we can wait until we die. In this case we will receive in the Day of Resurrection the bad things we have done.

We shall be rewarded for the things done in the body and we shall receive the reward in our body.

God gave us a spirit and soul. He placed these in a temporary, animal body. If we obey God in all things we will receive our true, eternal body in the Day of Christ.

But if we lose control of our soul to the spirit of the world, to the lusts of our flesh, or to the self-will of our soul and spirit, we will forfeit our soul to the enemy and we will be clothed accordingly.

To be continued.
