First, Happy 2020 to all believers!! My first thoughts, being in this new year, is how incredibly awesome and strengthening it is to know that in a split second we could be in God's (Jesus Christ) presence! If for a reason we were to depart our physical (earthly) body,
2 Corinthians 5:6-8
6. So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7. for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
However, we know this is temporary (just our soul/spirit, not our glorified bodies), but better than the alternative,
Luke 16: 23
23 The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment,he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.
We also know Hades is temporary. Therefore, after physical death on earth, a person will reside temporarily in Heaven (with Jesus) or Hades (away from Jesus). However, those in Heaven will not yet have received their Glorified bodies and those in Hades will have not yet been sent to the lake of fire. Nevertheless, your eternal destination has been chosen by either your belief (John 3:16) in Jesus Christ or your unbelief in Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:13–17, Revelations 21:1–22:21, where believers finally get their Glorified bodies.
Revelation 20:11–15, where unbelievers are judged and cast into the lake of fire.
2020 definitely needs to be the year that we all pray for each other, and unbelievers, more than ever!
The Lord Jesus Christ ONLY, is Worthy of all our Praise and Worship!
Eternity is a Very long Time!
