Our Glorious Bodies

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Our glorious bodies. We look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. Philippians three twenty and twenty one. Two vivid contrasts are highlighted in this text.

We now have a vile body that will be changed into a glorious body. Our Lord Jesus will fashion us after the pattern of His own body. There is ample evidence, both in Scripture and in our own experience, that our present physical bodies are vile. The English word seems more intense than the Greek, which simply means lowly or humble. Christ humbled Himself when He took on our flesh.

The Virgin Mary saw herself in a low estate as she compared herself to the wonder of what was happening to her. But one glorious day, the Lord Jesus will change our hum. Bodies into that which reflect His own, beloved.

Now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. What a marvelous thought! Even after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. The exciting description of those ab. Absolute changes are encapsulated in First Corinthians fifteen forty-two through fifty-eight.

We have a mortal body now, but then it will be imperishable. There is no honor to our bodies now, but then they will be glorious. Weakness is our burden now, but in eternity we will be endued with power. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for this majestic promise.
